Rabat — French President Emmanuel Macron renewed on Monday his proposal for a UN-mandated stabilization mission in Gaza, warning that Israel’s latest plan to seize Gaza and extend its assault to the Mawasi camp is “an unprecedented disaster” and a deliberate push toward “permanent war.”
Last week, Israel’s security cabinet approved plans that would automatically lead to the forcible displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, drawing a chorus of condemnation from human rights experts and the UN.
France has strongly condemned this plan to fully occupy Gaza as a breach of international law and a move that endangers stability across the region.
The Israeli proposal seeks to place the entire enclave under the total military control of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF).
Macron called for an international coalition under UN authority as the immediate priority to end the genocide, protect civilians, and put in place a governance structure aimed at peace and stability.
“The Security Council must now establish this mission and give it a mandate. I have instructed my teams to act on this without delay with our partners,” Macron said.
France, which historically has been a staunch supporter of Israel, has since shifted its stance, if not purely symbolic, toward justice for the Palestinian territorial solidarity. Alongside key international powers such as the UK and Canada, France has announced its intention to recognize Palestinian statehood at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September.
In yet another act of calculated brutality, the IOF carried out a deliberate strike on a tent outside Gaza’s Al Shifa hospital on Sunday, slaughtering seven people who had sought refuge there.
What was meant to be a shelter became a place of destruction aimed at silencing one of the strongest voices exposing Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza.
A single missile wiped out six journalists in the blink of an eye, five of them working for Al Jazeera.
The plight of Palestinians continues to deteriorate, with an already apocalyptic humanitarian crisis descending further into catastrophe since March 2, when Israel sealed the border crossings and used starvation as a weapon in its genocidal assault.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli strikes over the past 24 hours have killed 68 people and wounded 326. Among the dead, 29 were gunned down while trying to obtain aid. These latest casualties raise Gaza’s death toll since the start of the genocide to 61,499.
