In Qatar, French FM urges ‘immediate humanitarian truce’ in Israel-Hamas war

France’s Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna calls for an “immediate” humanitarian pause in the Israel-Hamas war as casualties climb in the besieged Gaza Strip, whose population is living on dwindling supplies plundered by the Palestinian terror group.

“An immediate, durable and observed humanitarian truce is absolutely necessary and must be able to lead to a ceasefire,” Colonna tells reporters during a visit to Qatar.

Israel, whose offensive is aimed at vanquishing Hamas, which rules the Strip, has rejected a ceasefire since it would allow the group to restock and regroup.
