French Greens Urge Macron to Deploy Navy for Gaza Humanitarian Aid

They said sea deliveries are the only reliable lifeline to avert a UN-warned famine in Gaza.

Overview

  • On August 2, Les Écologistes published a joint Tribune calling on President Macron to send French Navy vessels to Gaza’s coast with food, medicine and essential supplies.
  • They urged France to lead an international coalition to lift Israel’s blockade and secure continuous humanitarian access to the territory.
  • The party criticized Macron’s recent 40-tonne parachute airdrops as unsafe and insufficient compared with proposed maritime aid deliveries.
  • Les Écologistes demanded that France impose sanctions on the Israeli government, halt arms exports and suspend the EU-Israel association agreement.
  • They pressed Macron to recognize a Palestinian state immediately rather than waiting until September, warning that delay would leave civilians exposed to mass starvation.
