In Tel Aviv, Emmanuel Macron wishes to commit to both “the release of the hostages” detained in the Palestinian enclave, but also “curb the escalation”, “avoid the generalization of the conflict”, “a dangerous and uncontrolled escalation in the Middle East” and therefore propose the “reopening of a political perspective”, summarized those around him. He always indicated that he would go there if such a trip might be “useful” to the region, or the “the only way” of being is to take on a triple mission: “bring solidarity to Israel”, “make very clear commitments once morest terrorist groups”, “reopen a political perspective”listed the French presidency.

The emphasis will be placed on the objective of freeing the hostages held by the Palestinian Islamist group, on which Paris has ensured it has been mobilizing since October 7. France is calling in particular for “humanitarian break”having “initially as the main objective of facilitating the release of those who are now detained or missing in Gaza”noted a presidential advisor.

More broadly, the government will call for “a humanitarian truce” allowing you to give “enough space to construct a political scenario that would hopefully lead to a ceasefire”, in order to prevent civilians from finding themselves too heavily exposed to the conflict, he added. An appeal already hammered out this Monday followingnoon at the National Assembly by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne to the deputies, requesting a “humanitarian truce which might lead to a ceasefire” as part of a debate dedicated to the conflict.

This visit will also be an opportunity for the Head of State to recall that the Israeli response must be in accordance with international law and the values ​​of democracy in Israel, calling for respect for the law of war, according to the Elysium. This “humanitarian break” might make it possible to subsequently negotiate a ceasefire, but it requires “very strong guarantees” for the Jewish State which are not yet united, since Hamas continues to strike Israel, also estimated the presidential palace.
