French President Emmanuel Macron urged for an immediate cessation of arms deliveries to Israel on Saturday, advocating for a political resolution to the nearly year-long conflict in Gaza, which was ignited by Hamas’s attack on October 7.
During an interview with broadcaster France Inter, Macron stated, “I think that today, the priority is that we return to a political solution, that we stop delivering weapons to fight in Gaza.”
He highlighted the need for diplomacy and dialogue to address the situation.
In his remarks, Macron confirmed that France is currently not sending any arms to Israel, aligning with his call for a more peaceful approach to the ongoing conflict.
His comments come as the situation in Gaza remains tense, with rising casualties and a humanitarian crisis deepening in the region.
Macron’s call reflects growing concerns among international leaders about the impact of continued military support on the prospects for peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
As the war enters its second year, the need for a resolution that addresses the underlying issues remains critical, according to observers and analysts.
