French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that France opposes an Israeli offensive in Rafah.
According to the Elysée, Macron told Netanyahu of France’s “firm opposition to an Israeli offensive in Rafah, which could only lead to a humanitarian disaster of a new magnitude, as to any forced displacement of populations.”
Earlier Wednesday, the UN warned “military operations in Rafah could lead to a slaughter in Gaza and put a fragile humanitarian operation at death’s door.”
