French President Emmanuel Macron has described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as 'critical' and 'unacceptable,' emphasizing that it has reached unprecedented levels unseen in the past. Speaking at a joint press conference with the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Macron stressed the urgency of allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza. Macron criticized Israel's actions, stating that while Israel has the right to combat terrorism from Hamas, it is unacceptable for it to act without respecting any rules or international humanitarian law. He also condemned the forced displacement of civilians in Gaza and called for the release of all Israeli hostages, emphasizing that France will not apply double standards. The European Union's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, also addressed the issue, telling Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar in a phone call that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is 'untenable' and that humanitarian aid must resume immediately. France and other voices have called for an immediate ceasefire to address the dire situation.
