Macron, Netanyahu trade barbs over Israel’s Gaza aid block

French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Israel's March blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza as unacceptable during a TF1 interview on May 13, 2025.
This condemnation followed Israel's decision to suspend aid amid its renewed military campaign against Hamas, which began after the breakdown of ceasefire talks earlier in March 2025.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by accusing Macron of siding with Hamas and echoing propaganda, insisting Israel's war aims include destroying Hamas and securing hostage releases.
Hamas has held dozens of hostages since their attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed over 1,200 Israelis and led to an ongoing conflict causing more than 52,000 Palestinian deaths.
The dispute highlights rising tensions between Israel and key allies amid a worsening humanitarian crisis, with experts warning that half a million Gaza residents face starvation due to the blockade.
