French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed on Friday that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza was unacceptable, and said he hoped to discuss the matter soon with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump.
"The humanitarian situation in Gaza is intolerable," Macron told reporters, as he attended a meeting of European leaders in Albania.
"We are reaching a level that we have never seen before, in terms of the humanitarian impact, since the beginning of this," said Macron.
Macron said the priority was on getting a ceasefire in the fighting between Israel and Hamas, and restoring access to humanitarian aid.
"I will have the opportunity to speak about this with Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have also raised the matter with President Trump," he said.
Emmanuel Macron seems to forget that dozens of Israeli hostages have been held by Hamas terrorists for nearly two years.
Despite this, the French President has repeatedly criticized Israel.
Yet French diplomacy holds little to no weight in the Middle East — and even less in Israel.
Since October 7, Macron, who is struggling to maintain influence in his own country, has shifted from expressing strong support for Israel’s fight against terrorism to displaying clear hostility for over a year now.

Somewhere between a misguided humanitarian mission and an awkward Mediterranean yacht party, the Madleen — a tiny sailboat carrying 12 impassioned activists, a few crates of juice, and a whole lot of attitude — is inching its way toward Gaza.
The Israeli military has retrieved the body of Thai hostage, Nattapong Pinta, who had been held in Gaza since Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Saturday.
October 7, 2023, marked a blood-red date on Israel's calendar, and that of the Jewish people. The barbarity of Hamas and its accompanying hordes is unparalleled in the contemporary world, with its procession of violence, hatred, rapes, and massacres.
