After completely siding with Israel, Paris seeks to play a European role related to providing humanitarian aid to Gaza. Observers describe the French position as ambiguous and duplicitous, but they stress the importance of coordination with Qatar and the countries of the region.
The Elysee announced in a statement that 3 French-Qatari cargo planes loaded with 75 tons of goods will head to Al-Arish, in addition to the arrival of 10 ambulances, food supplies, and 300 family tents.
