France condemns Israeli military operations targeting several Gaza hospitals, particularly Kamal Adwan Hospital, which is no longer in operation. We express our concern for the situation of its director, patients and healthcare personnel.
France reminds Israel of its obligation to abide by international humanitarian law, which specifically provides for the protection of hospital infrastructure.
Given the humanitarian emergency in Gaza, where civilians have been in an unacceptable situation for far too long, France calls on the parties to negotiate an immediate ceasefire without delay – the only thing that will make it possible to bring in a massive influx of humanitarian aid through all Gaza crossing points, as well as the release of all hostages and the protection of all civilians.
