French President Emmanuel Macron condemned Israel over the situation in Gaza Strip, saying it is "the most critical it has ever been." According to Macron: "Forced displacement of Palestinians by Israel is unacceptable. Never has a population suffered for so long and at such distance from medical services, without ability to receive treatment, and without access to food, medicine and water"' Meanwhile, Slovenia, Iceland, Spain, Ireland, Norway and Luxembourg condemned Israel's plan to occupy the Gaza Strip, stating in a message that "the escalation will only worsen the already catastrophic situation of both Palestinians and the hostages."
