French President Emmanuel Macron, addressing the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday, described the situation in Gaza as a spectacle that "shames us all", stressing that the so-called peace in the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave has not led to the opening of even a single humanitarian corridor there.
In his speech at the 81st session of the UNGA, Macron questioned what would become of the international community's credibility if it continued to remain inactive on Gaza, and rejected claims that peace had already been achieved there.
"But what is our credibility worth if we remain inactive on Gaza? Some boast about a so-called peace, but this peace has not opened a single humanitarian corridor, not even for a second. Do we have to stand by and watch this spectacle that makes us all ashamed? Never!" said Macron.
The French president also drew attention to the situation in the West Bank, noting that violations are taking place there every day. He pointed out that Hamas has never operated in the West Bank.
Macron warned that these day-after-day practices are making it increasingly difficult to achieve the goal of respecting the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people to their right to exist.
