While Western politicians like Olaf Scholz and Joe Biden clearly position themselves on Israel’s side, France’s president is pushing for a ceasefire much more aggressively. A surprise? No, political tradition in the neighboring country.
French President Emmanuel Macron has been veering away from the Western line towards Israel for a few days now. Macron is calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, more clearly than any other Western head of state. He not only “regrets” the high number of civilian casualties, but also criticizes the ongoing bombardment of the area. Hamas is to blame for the escalation and the suffering of the Palestinians. However, it should not be left unmentioned that babies, women and elderly people are being killed in Gaza, said Macron.
