France raises its voice.
Emmanuel Macron called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this Wednesday to “cease” his operations in Gaza in the face of the “intolerable human toll and (the) humanitarian situation”.
This Monday, the head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell had already called on the United States - Israel's main supporter on the international scene - to deliver fewer weapons to the Jewish state.
Above all, Washington remains opposed to an Israeli ground attack on Rafah, in the far south of Palestinian territory, without guarantees of protection for civilians.
At the same time, Benjamin Netanyahu promised Wednesday a “powerful” operation in Rafah once the civilian population has evacuated the area, ignoring calls for restraint from the international community.
Especially since evacuating the approximately 1.3 million Palestinians who are refugees there seems like a mission impossible.
