Macron says ‘unacceptable’ for Israel to ignore rules in Gaza, calls aid crisis ‘critical’
French President Emmanuel Macron says the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached “critical” levels unseen in the past and that it is urgent to allow the distribution of humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip.
Macron also says that while Israel is entitled to fight a terrorist organization, it is “unacceptable” for it to act without respecting any rules.
The comments come ahead of Macron’s first meeting with Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa in Paris.
The presidential Elysee Palace says Macron will restate France’s support for “a free, stable, sovereign Syria that respects all components of its society,” while emphasizing the importance of regional stability — particularly in Lebanon — and the fight against terrorism.
