French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his strong concern todayn regarding the developments in Gaza stressing that he himself is moving to Qatar to assist efforts to restart the truce.
During a press conference at the UN Climate Conference (COP28) in Dubai, Macron said thatThe situation calls for a redoubled effort to achieve a lasting ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
A temporary truce between Israel and Hamas collapsed on Friday as mediators failed to extend it, with Israel and Hamas blaming each other for the collapse.
Macron also called on Israel to clarify its goals towards Hamas.
“We are at a time when the Israeli authorities should clarify more precisely their goals and their ultimate goal: the total destruction of Hamas, does anyone think that is possible?” If this is the goal then the war will last 10 years,” Macron said.
“There is no lasting security for Israel in the region if its security is achieved at the expense of Palestinian lives...Let us all have a clear mind”, concluded the French president.
