France condemns the IDF operations in northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, which wrapped up on Saturday.
“France reminds Israel of its obligation to abide by international humanitarian law, which specifically provides for the protection of hospital infrastructure,” says the Quai d’Orsay in a statement.
Hospitals and staff are protected by International Humanitarian Law, but not if they are used to commit acts harmful to an adversary.
“Given the humanitarian emergency in Gaza, where civilians have been in an unacceptable situation for far too long, France calls on the parties to negotiate an immediate ceasefire without delay,” says the statement.
“This is the only thing that will make it possible to bring in a massive influx of humanitarian aid through all Gaza crossing points, as well as the release of all hostages and the protection of all civilians,” it says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
