PM Gendelman alleges Macron's negligence regarding the captives.
Israeli Official Criticizes French President's Ceasefire Call
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced a tactical pause and the creation of safe routes for UN humanitarian missions and organizations in the Gaza Strip on July 27. However, not everyone is pleased with this development.
Israeli official Dmitry Hendelman, in a post on his Telegram channel, expressed his disapproval of French President Emmanuel Macron's call for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of Palestinian hostages. Hendelman believes that Macron's call showed "moral blindness" over moral leadership.
Macron's call included the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons and a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The humanitarian crisis and hunger in the Gaza Strip were issues that needed to be resolved before the resumption of ceasefire talks, according to Macron.
Hamas, too, has shown a willingness to resume ceasefire talks, stating on August 1 that it was prepared to do so. The crisis in the Gaza Strip appears to be a significant factor in Hamas's decision.
The safe routes, announced by the IDF, are for UN humanitarian missions and organizations delivering food and medicine to the Gaza Strip. The condition of Evyatar David, held underground by Hamas radicals without medical aid or sunlight, was mentioned in the context of the crisis.
The IDF implemented a daily tactical pause in operations in parts of the Gaza Strip from 10:00 to 20:00 local time. However, the IDF did not mention any specific reason for the implementation of the tactical pause and safe routes.
Hendelman further criticized Macron for equating Israeli hostage Evyatar David with Palestinian terrorists in his call for a ceasefire. Hendelman argued that a ceasefire should not be considered until the return of all Israeli hostages kidnapped by militant groups and the complete restoration of security in the region. He viewed Macron's appeal as overlooking the complexities on the ground, including the need to dismantle terrorist infrastructure before halting military operations.
Essentially, Hendelman’s criticism reflected concerns that an immediate ceasefire might compromise Israel's ability to protect its citizens and achieve a comprehensive resolution to the conflict. The debate surrounding Macron's call for a ceasefire and the implementation of safe routes by the IDF continues, with both sides presenting their perspectives on the ongoing situation in the Gaza Strip.
In light of French President Emmanuel Macron's call for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of Palestinian hostages, Israeli official Dmitry Hendelman expressed his disapproval, believing that Macron's call overlooked the complexities of war-and-conflicts and showed moral blindness over moral leadership. Hendelman also criticized Macron for equating Israeli hostage Evyatar David with Palestinian terrorists, arguing that a ceasefire should not be considered until the complete restoration of security in the region and the return of all Israeli hostages kidnapped by militant groups. This debate over politics and general-news continues, with both sides presenting their perspectives on the ongoing situation in the Gaza Strip.
