Macron says he told Netanyahu suffering in Gaza ‘must end,’ only a ceasefire can free hostages
PARIS, France — France’s President Emmanuel Macron says that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call that the suffering of Gazan civilians “must end” and that only a ceasefire in Gaza could free remaining Israeli hostages.
“The ordeal the civilian populations of Gaza are going through must end,” Macron posted on X after the talk with Netanyahu, calling for “the opening of all humanitarian aid crossings” into the besieged Palestinian territory.
