French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that Benjamin Netanyahu's policy in Gaza, where half a million people are allegedly facing starvation, was shameful and that Europeans should consider increasing sanctions.
"What he's doing is shameful," Macron said during an interview on TF1 television.
"I saw all the aid that France and other countries sent, and it was blocked by the Israelis. And I say this - what the Netanyahu government is doing today is unacceptable," KAN quoted the French leader as saying. "Today, the humanitarian crisis is the most serious we have witnessed since last October."
In addition, a French envoy to the UN said that Israel's aid delivery mechanism to Gaza violates international law and does not meet the needs of Gazans.
