French President Emmanuel Macron says that Europe may need to revisit its cooperation with Israel if Israel does not allow humanitarian aid through to the people of Gaza.
Israel has sealed off the Gaza Strip and says that it cannot allow food or other essentials through because the civilian population there is “mixing with” Hamas. The rest of the world is forced to watch in horror as Palestinians starve.
Macron said this about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “What he’s doing is shameful.”
Would Europe go as far as to withdraw money from Israel or cut off business deals? No Western nation has ever done that.
To be fair, some are saying that this is unprecedented for Macron but it’s not. He has spoken on behalf of the people of Gaza many times since October 7 but Israel has been able to ignore him.
Israel is moving forward with its plan to fully take over Gaza. On Tuesday, they bombed a hospital, killing at least 28 people. Also on Tuesday, the government approved a takeover of much of the West Bank too.
