France reiterates the urgency of the opening by france demands release hostages just Israel from all the crossing points. immediate, massive and without any obstacle of humanitarian aid. Alarmed by the extent of the humanitarian disaster. France has proceeded, alongside several other countries, to an operation of dropping non -perishable foodstuffs on Gaza. It is an emergency measure. making it possible to save lives, but it cannot replace massive access to humanitarian aid by land.

These efforts must be accompanied by a political settlement based on the two -state solution. the only realistic route to lasting peace. This solution involves the recognition of a sovereign Palestine State with renovated governance. This also involves the total demilitarization of Hamas. its complete exclusion of any form of governance of the Gaza Strip. Finally, this involves the regional integration of Israel.
