My greatest concern watching the Israel-Gaza war unfold is that there is genocidal intent, which can easily tip into genocidal action.

Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and from the south to the north. There will be no concession on an inch of the land.[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/08/hamas-gaza-palestine-khaled-meshaal-israel Tens of thousands celebrate Hamas 'victory' rally as exiled leader returns]

France is very concerned by the humanitarian tragedy taking place in Gaza. And it’s for this reason that France voted in favour of this resolution. And it’s for that reason that we plead for a new, immediate and lasting humanitarian truce that should lead to a sustainable ceasefire.

Creating a severe humanitarian crisis is a necessary means to achieve the goal. Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist.

Gaza is being transformed as we speak from what a former British Prime Minister once called the world’s largest open-air prison into the world’s largest open-air death camp.
