“Too many civilians are being killed,” says the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. France is concerned “at the highest point” by the situation in Gaza and calls for “a new immediate and lasting truce”, declared Catherine Colonna following a meeting with her Israeli counterpart in Tel Aviv on Sunday. She also called not to forget the victims of Hamas attacks. The head of French diplomacy must then meet families of hostages.
