French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed his deep concern over the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take immediate action to alleviate the suffering of civilians. Macron emphasized that a ceasefire is essential to secure the release of remaining hostages held by Hamas. During a phone call on Tuesday, Macron reiterated the need to open all humanitarian aid crossings into Gaza, highlighting the worsening conditions due to weeks of blocked aid deliveries.
The United Nations has also raised alarms about the deteriorating situation, with no relief supplies reaching Gaza for an extended period. Macron reaffirmed France's commitment to a two-state solution, advocating for the disarmament of Hamas and the establishment of credible governance in Gaza. However, Netanyahu strongly opposed the idea of a Palestinian state, describing it as a "reward for terrorism."
Macron's recent suggestion that France might recognize a Palestinian state during a United Nations conference in June has sparked criticism from Israel. Despite this, Macron believes such recognition could encourage other nations to follow suit, potentially paving the way for broader international acknowledgment of both Israel and Palestine.
