Macron informs Netanyahu of his rejection of a military operation in Rafah. Macron said in a phone call with Netanyahu that the attack on Rafah will lead to the forced displacement of residents.
He stressed the necessity of opening the port of Ashdod, a direct land route from Jordan, and all crossings to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. Macron denounced Israel's settlement policy, calling for the dismantling of settlement outposts and avoiding any action that would lead to uncontrolled escalation in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.
