Macron tells Netanyahu ordeal of Gaza civilians must end
ai generated text
Emmanuel Macron has stated that the suffering of Gazan civilians "must end", and he has called for opening all humanitarian aid crossings into the besieged Palestinian territory. Israel has proposed a 45-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of half of the remaining hostages held in Gaza.
We must move towards recognition, and we will do so in the coming months.
Yes to peace. Yes to Israel's security. Yes to a Palestinian state without Hamas.
The ordeal the civilian populations of Gaza are going through must end.
I will do it because I believe that at some point it will be right and because I also want to participate in a collective dynamic, which must also allow all those who defend Palestine to recognise Israel in turn, which many of them do not do.
The prime minister told the French president that a Palestinian state established just minutes away from Israeli cities would become a stronghold of Iranian terrorism, and that a vast majority of the Israeli public firmly opposes this – and this has been his consistent and long-standing policy.
President Macron is gravely mistaken in continuing to promote the idea of a Palestinian state in the heart of our land – a state whose sole aspiration is the destruction of Israel.
To this day, not a single figure in Hamas or the Palestinian Authority has condemned the horrors of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
We will not endanger our existence over illusions detached from reality, and we will not accept moral lectures about establishing a Palestinian state that would threaten Israel's survival, especially not from those who oppose granting independence to Corsica, New Caledonia, French Guiana, and other territories, whose independence would pose no threat to France whatsoever.
The ministry strongly condemns the unjustified attack and offensive remarks made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his son against President Emmanuel Macron.
The ministry considers these statements a clear acknowledgement of Netanyahu's ongoing hostility to peace based on the two-state solution, as well as a blatant rejection of international legitimacy and a persistent preference for violence and military solutions over the political path.
