France condemns Israeli attacks on schools in Gaza

Paris, Sep 27 (Prensa Latina) France condemned on Friday three recent Israeli attacks on schools in the Gaza Strip, where dozens of Palestinian civilians lost their lives.

We express our outrage at the attacks launched this week, which left over 40 dead and several wounded, the Foreign Ministry underscored in a communiqué.

Paris regretted that for some time now, schools in Gaza, which provide shelter to civilians, have been the target of raids by the Israeli army, with consequences it considers unacceptable.

France reiterated that it is imperative for Israel to comply with international humanitarian law, it warned.

The text circulated here describes the situation in Gaza as an absolute urgency and insists on the demands for the unconditional release of hostages held by Hamas, an immediate ceasefire and the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid to the Strip.

On his keynote address at the UN General Assembly, on Wednesday, French President, Emmanuel Macron made the same demands.

We need a new phase in Gaza, in which “the guns are silenced, humanitarian workers return and civilians are protected,” he said in New York.
