Israel/Palestinian Territories – Situation in Gaza (16 July 2024)

France is outraged by Israel’s strikes on July 14 and 15 on an UNRWA school and the Al-Maghazi refugee camp that shelters displaced persons. The strikes of the last couple of days, which left nearly 100 dead, exacerbate the catastrophic civilian death toll in Gaza.

France emphasizes the need for Israel to abide by international humanitarian law.

Given the humanitarian emergency in Gaza, France reiterates its call for an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
