Israel - Hamas war: France calls for 'immediate and durable' Gaza truce
17 December 2023
France has called for an "immediate and durable truce" in the Israel-Hamas war, saying that it is deeply concerned about the situation in Gaza.
Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna added that too many civilians were being killed.
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said a ceasefire would be an error, describing it as a gift to Hamas.
The UK and Germany earlier called for a "sustainable ceasefire", but stopped short of saying it should be immediate.
