Macron calls on Israel to stop killing Gaza's women and babies
Israel must stop killing babies and women in Gaza, French President Emmanuel Macron has told the BBC.
In an exclusive interview at the Élysée Palace, he said there was "no justification" for the bombing, saying a ceasefire would benefit Israel.
While recognising Israel's right to protect itself, "we do urge them to stop this bombing" in Gaza, he said.
But he also stressed that France "clearly condemns" the "terrorist" actions of Hamas.
France - like Israel, the US, the UK, and other Western nations - considers Hamas a terrorist organisation.
When asked if he wanted other leaders - including in the US and the UK - to join his calls for a ceasefire, he replied: "I hope they will."

I believe this is the first logical and sensible thought you've had on this entire subject.
About time.
100% of the blame for Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza goes to Hamas who is using civilians as human shields.
A shield doesn't kill,bombs do.
Hamas has killed more innocent Palestinians in Gaza since 2005 than Israel ever has or will -- according to the Human Rights Watch report.
Even if true,doesn't make it ok for Israel to kill thousands of innocent Palestinians.
No one is defending or justifying Hamas killing anyone.Israel defenders defend and justify Israel killing thousands of innocent Palestinians.
They aren't a real military with bases and barracks to be bombed. That doesn't mean they are using their neighbors as human shields. Israel doesn't really know where they are. They are bombing civilians indiscriminately, as has been their style for decades.
