President Macron assured that France has no plans to send French soldiers to the Gaza Strip. The head of state also called for the creation of an international coalition to fight Hamas.
— The fight against terrorism is not the case of one country, Macron emphasized, recalling that France has lost 31 citizens in the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Macron also stated that “a massive Israeli ground operation in the Gaza Strip would be a mistake.” “It would also be a mistake for Israel because a ground operation is unlikely to protect Israel in the long term and because it is inconsistent with respect for civilians, international humanitarian law and even the rules of war,” the president added.
Macron also announced that he had signed a protocol with Egypt on the evacuation of French citizens, about 50 people, to which should be added about 100 people working for French organizations. — These are 170 people whom we want to protect if the worst happens and if the bombings continue, the president explained.
