US EditionIsrael's aid access to Gaza insufficient, offensive must stop, France says
- France's foreign minister criticized Israel on May 20, 2025, for insufficient aid access to Gaza amid a renewed offensive in the enclave.
- The criticism comes in the wake of Israel’s blockade of Gaza that began in March, following an assault by Hamas militants on Israeli areas in early October 2023, which resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths.
- Despite limited humanitarian aid allowed into Gaza on May 19 via Kerem Shalom Crossing, more than 53,000 people have died and nearly all two million residents were displaced.
- Jean-Noel Barrot stated, "This is completely insufficient," warned the offensive must stop, and mentioned potential suspension of Israel's association agreement, which could impact trade.
- The warnings and threats from France, Britain, and Canada escalate pressure on Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu to end the offensive and lift aid restrictions in Gaza.
