Paris (France) – It is 2.5 months that the war between Israel and Hamas is going on. The war between them is fought in the Gaza Strip. “We cannot let the idea take root that an efficient fight against terrorism implies flattening Gaza or attacking civilian populations indiscriminately,” Macron told the France 5 broadcaster. He called on Israel “to stop this response because it is not appropriate, because all lives are worth the same and we defend them.”

While acknowledging “Israel’s right to defend itself and fight terror,” Macron said France called for the protection of civilians and “a truce leading to a humanitarian ceasefire.”

The war began when thousands of Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on 7th October in a devastating shock onslaught, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting about 240 to Gaza, under the cover of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns. In response, Israel began a relentless bombardment alongside a ground invasion. About 20,000 people have been killed in Gaza including many women and children.
