"The death toll in Gaza is unacceptably high. Israeli operations in the enclave must end."
This is what French President Macron told Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu during a telephone conversation, AFP reported.
Macron expressed France's "firm opposition" to the Israeli offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah and stressed that a ceasefire agreement must be reached "without further delay".
The French head of state said it is imperative to open "all checkpoints" in Gaza to deliver aid to the blockaded enclave./BGNES
