France Reaffirms Firm Stance on Unhindered Access to Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

French Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Christophe Lemoine reiterated his country’s firm position on Friday and its call for unimpeded access to humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

In press statements, in response to a question about the issue of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip and the extremely tragic situation facing the population, Lemoine highlighted France’s firm position on this matter, saying, “We have always called for unimpeded access to humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, to allow the entry of all necessary aid to the population, to maintain the ceasefire, to halt (military) operations, and to release all hostages still held in the Strip.”

He continued, “For this reason, we expressed our strong condemnation of the resumption of Israeli military operations after the first phase of the ceasefire, which we felt was a step in the right direction, as it allowed the entry of humanitarian aid, the release of hostages, and the return of Palestinian prisoners.”

He added that French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized this during his recent visit to Egypt, particularly when he visited Arish (50 kilometers from the Gaza Strip) and called for the entry of aid, a call he reiterated with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordanian King Abdullah II.
