Israeli leaders and diplomats took to social media on Thursday to send their best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery to French President Emmanuel Macron, who has tested positive for the coronavirus.
Macron’s Covid-19 diagnosis prompted several European leaders who had recently met with him to go into quarantine.
A statement from the Elysee Palace said Macron would “continue to work and take care of his activities at a distance.”
On his personal Twitter account, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote, “President Macron, Emmanuel, wishing you a speedy and full recovery,” in both French and English.
Président Macron, Emmanuel, je vous souhaite un prompt rétsblissement.
President Macron, Emmanuel, wishing you a speedy and full recovery.@EmmanuelMacron @Elysee

Defense Minister Benny Gantz echoed this sentiment, tweeting, “Sending my friend Emmanuel Macron warmest wishes for a full and quick recovery from Covid-19.”

Opposition leader Yair Lapid, who has expressed admiration for Macron’s centrist politics, tweeted, “I’d like to wish a full and speedy recovery to my friend President Macron. The world needs you healthy and full of energy.”
