Macron, \u2062speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in \u200bJerusalem, emphasized the shared enemy of terrorism between France and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;France is ready for the international coalition against Daesh\u200d in which we are \u200dtaking part for operations \u2062in Iraq and \u2062Syria to also fight against Hamas,&#8221; \u2064Macron stated, referring to Islamic State. He did not provide\u200c specific\u2062 details on how the U.S.-led coalition,\u200d which does not include Israel, could be involved.<\/p>\n<p>Macron, who expressed concerns about the potential for a regional conflict, emphasized that the fight \u200dagainst Hamas should be relentless but within the bounds of established \u2063rules. Netanyahu did not directly respond to Macron&#8217;s proposal but characterized the\u200c battle as a clash between the &#8220;axis of evil&#8221; and &#8220;the free world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This battle\u2063 is not merely our \u2062own&#8230; It&#8217;s everybody&#8217;s battle,&#8221; Netanyahu asserted.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State was formed\u200c in September 2014. Macron&#8217;s\u2062 office stated that the idea was to draw inspiration from this coalition and engage in discussions \u2062with Israel and other partners to determine\u200c relevant strategies against Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The international coalition against Daesh does not limit itself to operations on the ground, but is also involved in the training of Iraqi forces, \u2064the sharing of information between partners, and the fight against terrorism funding,&#8221; Macron&#8217;s office explained.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the urgency of the situation, Macron mentioned \u200cthat 30 French citizens were killed by Hamas militants in an attack on southern Israel on October 7, resulting in the seizure of over 200 people and the death of 1,400 individuals. The Palestinian health ministry reported that Israeli air strikes on Gaza have claimed the lives of over 5,000 people since then.<\/p>\n<p>During his visit, Macron prioritized the liberation of nine French hostages and met with the families of French victims at Tel Aviv\u2062 airport. He also planned to meet with regional\u200d leaders in Jordan&#8217;s capital, Amman, and hold discussions\u200c with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas \u200din\u200b Ramallah, located in the West Bank.<\/p>\n<p>Macron&#8217;s visit followed the European Union foreign ministers&#8217; struggle on Monday to reach a consensus on a call\u200b for a &#8220;humanitarian pause&#8221; in the ongoing war.<\/p>\n<p>(Additional reporting by Tassilo Hummel, \u200dMichael Georgy; writing by Michel Rose and Ingrid\u200d Melander in Paris; editing by Kevin Liffey, Mike Harrison, Robert Birsel,\u200b and Alison Williams)<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How \u200ddoes the surge in \u200bviolence between\u200c Israel\u2064 and Hamas in Gaza highlight \u200bthe need for a united front against terrorism?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Increasing violence in Gaza, highlighted \u200bthe need for a united front against terrorism. He stated, &#8220;We must continue\u2064 to reinforce the fight against terrorist groups, be they\u200d Daesh or Hamas.&#8221; This proposal comes in\u2062 the wake\u200d of a surge in violence\u200d between\u2062 Israel and Hamas, resulting in the death of several Palestinian civilians and Israeli soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>While this proposition may seem surprising, it \u2063is crucial to understand the rationale behind Macron&#8217;s suggestion. Hamas, \u2063considered a \u200bterrorist\u200d organization by\u200d the \u2063European Union and the United States among others, is known for its violent tactics and\u200d attacks on Israeli civilians.\u2064 As Macron underscored,\u200d terrorism knows no borders, and it is necessary to address all forms of terrorism, regardless of \u200dtheir geographic location.<\/p>\n<p>However, Macron&#8217;s suggestion has unsurprisingly faced both support and criticism. Supporters of the proposal argue that expanding the coalition&#8217;s efforts to include Hamas would demonstrate an unequivocal commitment to the\u2064 fight against terrorism. They believe\u2063 that by targeting Hamas, the coalition would not \u2064only weaken the organization \u200cbut also send a strong message to other militant groups around the \u2064world.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, critics argue that including\u2064 Hamas in the\u2062 international coalition would be counterproductive and detrimental to the peace process between\u200d Israel \u200cand Palestine. They contend that such a move could\u2063 further exacerbate tensions in the region and complicate efforts to\u2062 find a diplomatic solution to \u200bthe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/msm-blames-israel-for-gaza-hospital-attack-and-then-backtracks\/\" title=\"MSM initially blames Israel for Gaza hospital attack, then retracts.\">long-standing\u2063 conflict<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, finding a comprehensive and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict\u2062 is a complex task \u2064that requires international\u200c cooperation. Macron&#8217;s proposal, while commendable in its intent to combat terrorism, must also \u200dconsider the broader \u200ccontext of the conflict. Any actions taken to address the issue\u200b should be done in consultation with all\u200d relevant\u200b parties, including Palestinian authorities.<\/p>\n<p>As the international community evaluates Macron&#8217;s proposition, it \u200dis crucial to prioritize a balanced\u200d approach that takes into account the concerns and aspirations of all stakeholders involved. Any strategies or initiatives aimed at \u2064combating\u2062 terrorism should not undermine the prospect of a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Macron&#8217;s suggestion to include Hamas in the international coalition fighting against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/frances-macron-says-anti-isis-coalition-should-fight-hamas\/\" title=\"Macron urges anti-ISIS coalition to combat Hamas.\">terrorism requires careful consideration<\/a>. While the fight\u200c against terrorism \u2062is imperative, it is essential that\u200d any actions taken are done \u2064so in a \u200dmanner that contributes to a comprehensive and sustainable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The involvement of all relevant parties, including Palestinian authorities, \u2064is crucial to ensure a constructive and inclusive approach in addressing this complex issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French President Emmanuel Macron suggested expanding the international coalition combating ISIS in Iraq and Syria to also address the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza.
