French President Emmanuel Macron, during a visit to Egypt, urges the immediate resumption of aid to Gaza and condemns an Israeli attack on medics.
“The situation today is intolerable,” Macron says in the city of El-Arish near the border with Gaza, calling for “the resumption of humanitarian aid as quickly as possible” to the territory.
He also “strongly condemned” an Israeli attack on paramedics and aid workers last month. Israel says 6 of the 15 killed were Hamas operatives.
