Reuters. French President Emmanuel Macron, at a joint news conference with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Cairo, said on Wednesday (October 25) that France "doesn't practice double standards", referring to criticism of the West's response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
"All lives are equal, there is no hierarchy" he said.
Macron added that humanitarian aid must enter into Gaza without obstacles.
The French President said that it was essential to get fuel supplies to hospitals, adding that a French navy ship would arrive soon to help bring support to Gaza hospitals and that a plane will arrive in Egypt with key supplies.
Macron also said that it was necessary to avoid regional escalation following the conflict between Israel and Hamas, adding that a two-state solution was necessary for peace in the Middle East.
