French President, Emmanuel Macron, on Tuesday stressed the urgent need to open all humanitarian aid crossings into Gaza, calling it a “vital necessity” for the civilian population, as the humanitarian crisis in the enclave continues to worsen, Anadolu Agency reports.
“I have just spoken with (Israeli) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” Macron said on X.
“I reiterated France’s support for Israel’s security and its people. The release of all hostages has always been an absolute priority,” he said.
However, he stressed that a ceasefire is the only path to ensuring the release of the remaining hostages and alleviating suffering in Gaza.
“The opening of all humanitarian aid crossings is a vital necessity for the civilian population of Gaza,” he said.
