"An immediate, sustainable, and
lasting humanitarian ceasefire is extremely necessary, and it must be capable
of leading to a cessation of hostilities,” she said.
She indicated that France is "working
on adopting a text to this effect in the
United Nations Security Council,"
which has been divided on this issue since the beginning of the war, according
to AFP.
Her statements come following a call for a
"
humanitarian pause" made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken,
who is on his second tour in the region.
This proposal was the focus of Blinken's
talks in Israel on Friday, but it did not receive the approval of
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu announced his rejection of
"a temporary ceasefire without the release of hostages" held by Hamas
since its attack. The Israeli army says they number about 241 people, including
foreign citizens.
