France Urges Quick and Lasting Peace in Israel-Hamas Conflict as Civilians Suffer
France is calling for an immediate and lasting truce in the Israel-Hamas war, expressing deep concern over the situation in Gaza.
The Foreign Minister, Catherine Colonna, emphasizes the need to halt the violence and protect civilians. However, Israel’s Foreign Minister, Eli Cohen, rejects the idea, considering it a ‘gift to Hamas.’
The UK and Germany also advocate for a ‘sustainable ceasefire,’ but fall short of demanding an immediate one.
Tensions rise as diplomatic efforts continue, with France pushing for a ceasefire to release hostages and deliver aid to Gaza.
The international community remains divided on the best approach to ending the conflict, while the toll on civilians escalates.
