French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Tel Aviv on Tuesday to convey France’s “complete support” for Israel following the tragic October 7th attacks carried out by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, as reported by an AFP journalist.
The French head of state was also expected to call for the “preservation of the civilian population” in Gaza, as Israel carries out a relentless bombardment of the Palestinian enclave and prepares for a ground offensive, the presidency said.
