Anticipated Tragic Scenario for Gaza City: Emmanuel Macron Warns of Imminent Calamity

In a developing situation, the Israeli Minister of Defense has approved the "Gideon's Chariots II" operation, aimed at taking control of the city of Gaza. This decision has sparked widespread criticism and concern, both domestically and internationally.

On Wednesday morning, the Israeli Minister of Defense gave the green light to the operation, which has raised fears of a potential humanitarian crisis. The operation comes amidst calls for a 60-day ceasefire proposal accepted by Hamas before the end of the week, but it is unclear whether the Israeli army has made a decision on this matter.

The Israeli government has ordered the recall of 60,000 army reservists, indicating the scale of the operation. However, details about humanitarian preparations for the evacuation of the populations of the city of Gaza have not been disclosed.

Families of hostages, referencing the killing of six hostages by Hamas in Rafah in 2024, have urged for the operation not to become a repeat of "Hostage Massacre II". They have requested an urgent meeting with Israel Katz and Eyal Zamir to discuss the safety of their loved ones before the intensification of military operations in Gaza.

Protests are ongoing over the fate of hostages in Israel, with protesters stating, "Despite everything, Netanyahu remains politically immovable". The Jordanian Foreign Minister has accused Israel of killing the prospects of peace in the region and denounced an inhumane reality created by Israeli aggression in Gaza.

The German government has criticized the intensification of the Israeli military operation in Gaza, joining a chorus of criticism from all sides. Emmanuel Macron, the French President, has expressed his concerns about the situation but has not publicly stated his reaction to the operation.

On Monday, October 10, 2023, Macron was officially called by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to consult about the Israeli army's "Gideon's Chariots II" operation. It is unclear whether Macron has reaffirmed his opposition to the operation, as he estimated that it could lead to a disaster.

The situation in Gaza has escalated dramatically, with at least 28 Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, including in Gaza City, Nuseirat, and Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. Reports also suggest that Israeli army fire killed at least one person seeking aid in the buffer zone of the Netzarim corridor.

Organizations demanding the end of the war and the return of hostages estimate that approving plans to occupy Gaza while an agreement is on the table is a "stab in the heart" of the families. The situation in Gaza remains volatile, and developments are closely watched by the international community.
