Israel Resumes Offensive in Gaza Amid International Condemnation

French President Emmanuel Macron has criticized Israel's renewed attacks in Gaza, calling it a "dramatic step backward" and asserting that there is no military solution. He urged an immediate cessation of hostilities and a resumption of negotiations under U.S. auspices, echoing calls for the release of all hostages held by Hamas. Jordan's King Abdullah II, during a meeting with Macron, also denounced the renewed attacks as "extremely dangerous." Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have reportedly killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians and several Hamas officials. The Israeli military has instructed residents to move to shelters in western Gaza City and Khan Younis. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that these attacks are "just the beginning." The European Union, through its foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, has deemed the situation "unacceptable." Kallas expressed concern over civilian casualties and the politicization of humanitarian aid to Palestinians during discussions with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Gazans of impending evacuation orders as military operations intensify, threatening further action if hostages are not released and Hamas is not removed from Gaza.
