US EditionMacron says Europe must ‘harden’ stance on Israel unless Gaza crisis eases
- French President Emmanuel Macron warned on May 30, 2025, in Singapore that Europe must harden its stance on Israel unless the Gaza humanitarian crisis eases.
- Macron issued this warning amid an 11-week Israeli aid blockade in Gaza, a 20-month conflict following a deadly Hamas attack in October 2023, and recent Israeli settlement expansions.
- The humanitarian situation remains dire with Gaza’s entire population at risk of famine, limited aid delivery resumed after the blockade ended 10 days earlier under international pressure.
- Macron warned that the ongoing blockade is causing a dire humanitarian crisis and indicated that France may respond by imposing stricter collective actions, including potential sanctions on Israeli settlers.
- He reiterated hope for a humanitarian response and a two-state solution while France prepares to co-host a UN conference in June focused on a roadmap to Palestinian statehood and Israel’s security.
