  • France to host international conference for Gaza next week - diplomats

In an effort to coordinate relief efforts for the beleaguered Palestinian enclave, France is scheduled to hold an international humanitarian meeting for the civilian population in Gaza on November 9, according to three diplomatic sources.

Even though Paris proclaimed its support for its beloved "Israel" after October 7, it seems it cannot ignore the humanitarian concerns that come amid the Israeli occupation's relentless bombing campaign of the besieged strip.

French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters in Brittany that the conference is scheduled to be at head of state, government, and foreign minister level.

The most interesting part of the conference is that the Israeli occupation itself is not invited, even though the Palestinian Authority is.

This could be due to the massive popular outcry against Israeli war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, particularly in France, which has seen massive protests in support of Palestine. 

Along with the major Western and European powers, important regional players, including Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf Arab nations, will be invited. According to the sources, there will also be international organizations and institutions present.

The conference's goal is to raise money, and several industries have been singled out for emergency assistance based on evaluations of the urgent requirements made by the UN.

Among the things that would be discussed would be how to restore the supply of gasoline, water, and power.

France is allegedly deploying two helicopter carriers off the coast of Gaza.

The diplomats said that in addition to discussing the establishment of a maritime corridor to allow ships to enter Gaza and carry humanitarian assistance, they would also look into the possibility of using ships to aid the injured there.

Recently, Macron claimed that France has no double standards and that it carries "universal values of humanism."

He has mentioned that the fight should be "without mercy but not without rules," without explicitly accusing the Israelis of aggression against Palestinians. 

Countrywide prohibition on all pro-Palestine marches

The imposition of substantial fines on a large scale is the most recent illustration of how France has, in essence, made public expressions of support for Palestine a criminal offense and has suppressed criticism against what is widely seen as a disproportionate backing of "Tel Aviv", even in the face of Israeli war crimes that have appalled the global community.

According to Nicolas Shahshahani from Europalestine, it's crucial to remember that this is just one facet of the French government's unwavering endorsement of 'Israel'. Recently, Macron proposed the idea of employing the Western coalition against ISIL against the Gaza population.

He has also pursued a countrywide prohibition on all pro-Palestinian marches, consistently raising concerns of anti-Semitism and attempting to ban the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign.
