"Israel must stop killing babies and women in Gaza," French President Emmanuel Macron told the BBC.

In an exclusive interview at the Élysée Palace, he said there was no justification for the bombing, saying a ceasefire would benefit Israel.

"While we recognize Israel's right to defend itself, we call on them to stop this bombing of Gaza," he said.

But he also stressed that France clearly condemns the terrorist actions of Hamas.

France, like Israel, the US, Great Britain and other Western countries, consider Hamas a terrorist organization.

Asked if he wanted other leaders, including the US and UK, to join his calls for a ceasefire, he replied: "I hope they will."

Israel says it attacks military targets in accordance with international law and takes steps to reduce civilian casualties, such as issuing warnings before attacks and calling on people to evacuate.

Speaking a day after a humanitarian aid conference in Paris on the war in Gaza, Macron said the "clear conclusion" of all governments and agencies present at that summit was "that there is no other option but first a humanitarian pause, going to a ceasefire, which will allow us to protect all civilians who have nothing to do with terrorists."

"De facto, today, civilians are bombed, de facto. These babies, these ladies, these old people have been bombed and killed. So there is no reason for this and there is no legitimacy. So we call on Israel to stop."

He said it was not his role to judge whether international law had been violated./ CNA
