Former French Foreign Minister: Israel is Heading Toward Global Isolation and Hatred
According to webangah News Agency, Jean-yves Le Drian, France’s former foreign minister and current presidential envoy to Lebanon, strongly condemned Israel’s policies toward Gaza in an interview with Radio France Inter, calling them a “humanitarian catastrophe.”
Le Drian stated: “We’ve crossed unacceptable boundaries.Using starvation and siege as military tools is a profound tragedy.”
He added: “Currently, israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu only permits limited humanitarian aid into Gaza-exclusively through the U.S.-and-Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)-after two months of total blockade on the territory.”
“Netanyahu has pushed Israel to the brink with these policies,” Le Drian warned.
The diplomat asserted that “Israel today suffers moral collapse,” cautioning that continued Netanyahu policies could render the regime “globally despised.” He described this trajectory as “deeply tragic.”
Le Drian also protested accusations against critics of Israel: “Whenever Netanyahu’s government faces criticism, we’re instantly labeled antisemitic. This conflation must stop-it’s utterly condemnable.”
“When france’s president demands humanitarian access to Gaza, they accuse him of Hamas collaboration. These allegations have become intolerable,” he added.
The former minister concluded that only Israeli citizens can halt this perilous course through direct action-failure to do so would lead their nation toward disaster.
