The French ambassador to Israel warns against the occupation of Gaza. "Do not do that"
& nbsp;
The French ambassador to Israel, Frederick Journal, stressed, during an interview with Radio & quot, was & quot; Hebrew, that his country still considers itself a friend of Israel despite the recent differences, especially after Paris recognized the Palestinian state.
& nbsp;
& nbsp; It ends. I lived in Israel during the war years, and I say clearly that there are alternatives to an endless war. Commenting on the government’s intention to expand military operations in Gaza, the ambassador pointed to the complexity and cost of this option, saying: & quot; I know that the government’s situation is difficult, and I have respect for some of its members, but I say clearly: Do not do that. The occupation of Gaza will be expensive and complex, as the army recognizes itself. Take advantage of the opportunity to reach an agreement, and work with the Arab partners to plan the following day & quot;
& nbsp;
& nbsp; Our mission as an international force is to put on the table all the options, not to walk behind the blind war. To bear the cost of a long occupation? The education and health sectors in Israel are already affected. Israel is strong when it is in peace, and we want to help it return to this road We offer the option to live in peace with the Palestinians and the option of reforming the Palestinian Authority. We are going through difficult days, but we love Israel and we will continue to work to build a better future & quot;. On the French and Arab alternative, Journal explained that the plan includes the ceasefire, the launch of all prisoners, the establishment of an international security mechanism, then the start of the reconstruction of Gaza and the formation of a new government. At the end of the interview, the French ambassador expressed his solidarity with the families of the Israeli prisoners, saying: & quot; the photos published this week were painful. I am completely in solidarity with their families, and it is proud that the President of my country condemned these horrific pictures and reminded that Hamas was a barbaric movement. We are now facing an opportunity to stop war, chaos and global incitement against Israel. I hope my friends in Israel will make the right decision & quot;
