French President Emmanuel Macron said at the Élysée Palace in Paris: "We will decide in the coming days whether to take a tougher stance and implement concrete measures regarding Israel." Macron made these remarks alongside Brazilian President Lula da Silva, who has adopted an anti-Israeli stance during the war. During the press conference, Lula repeated accusations that "Israel is carrying out a premeditated genocide in the Gaza Strip." He stated that "recognition of a Palestinian state is a moral and humanitarian obligation, and a political demand from all world leaders."
