Macron: Israel must stop bombing babies, ladies and old people in Gaza,Netanyahu responds sharply
People do notice when one is ever so firm in two opposite directions on subsequent days.
[IsraelTimes] French President Emmanuel Macron tells the BBC there is "no justification" for Israel’s bombing of "these babies, these ladies, these old people" and reiterates his call for a ceasefire in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Macron expresses his hope that other Western leaders will join his call.

He claims the "clear conclusion" from the Western governments and others who participated in a Gaza humanitarian aid conference in Gay Paree earlier this week was "that there is no other solution than first a humanitarian pause, going to a ceasefire, which will allow [us] to protect... all civilians having nothing to do with [the] terrorists."

"De facto — today, civilians are bombed — de facto. These babies, these ladies, these old people are bombed and killed. So there is no reason for that and no legitimacy. So we do urge Israel to stop," he tells BBC during the lengthy interview.

"It’s extremely important for all of us because of our principles, because we are democracies. It’s important for the mid-to-long run as well for the security of Israel itself, to recognize that all lives matter," he says.

Macron rejects the notion that the best way for Israel to "protect [itself] is having a large bombing of Gaza," saying it was creating "resentment and bad feelings" in the region.

PM responds to Macron: Hamas responsible for civilian deaths in Gaza, don’t condemn Israel

[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responds to French President Emmanuel Macron’s call for Israel to stop bombing “these babies, these ladies, these old people” in Gaza, saying the responsibility for civilian deaths lies with Hamas.

“While Israel is doing everything to refrain from harming civilians and calling on them to leave areas of fighting, Hamas-ISIS is doing everything to prevent them from leaving for safe areas and is using them as human shields,” Netanyahu says in a statement from his office, likening the Gaza-ruling terror group to the Islamic State jihadist organization.

Netanyahu says that Hamas is “cruelly holding our hostages — woman, children and the elderly — in a crime against humanity” and “uses schools, mosques and hospitals as terror command centers.”

“These crimes that Hamas-ISIS is coming today in Gaza, will tomorrow be committed in Paris, New York and everywhere around the world. World leaders must condemn Hamas-ISIS and not Israel,” the premier adds.

#6 Bit of an about-face, eh? Perhaps Macron got word from French security that things are about to get spicy with the local Paleo factions. Perhaps a change in position will head that off.
/me puts a chip on Not

The Israelis are going to root out Hamas. Doing that will involve a lot of seriously unfortunate collateral damage. The world is lamenting over how seriously unfortunate that has been and will be. But I don't hear anyone offering a better solution than what the Israelis are doing now.

#7 IDF kills Hamas commander who held Gazans hostage at Al Rantisi Hospital

The IDF eliminated Ahmed Siam, a company commander of Hamas's Naser Radwan Company, the terrorist responsible for holding approximately 1,000 Gazan residents hostage in Gaza's Rantisi Hospital preventing them from evacuating south to safety, the IDF said on Saturday.

The assassination succeeded with the efforts of both the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency). Ground and air troops participated in the operation.


Ahmed Siam was killed while hiding in a school.

In case you wondered where HAMAS/MSM stats on killed Gazan children come from
