President Macron’s Crusade Against the Jewish State Continues. The facts do not interest Macron. There is no humanitarian blockade. That is a blatant lie. Israel is currently facilitating the entry of aid to Gaza through two parallel efforts. In the first effort, nearly 900 aid trucks have already entered Gaza from Israel this week. Hundreds of these trucks are still waiting for the UN to collect and distribute them in Gaza. In the second effort, the Gaza Humanitarian Fund, which began operating this week, has already distributed two million meals and tens of thousands of aid packages. This direct aid to the population in Gaza — bypassing Hamas — is already changing the situation on the ground and has the potential to seriously harm the terrorists and shorten the war. But instead of applying pressure on the jihadist terrorists, Macron wants to reward them with a Palestinian state. No doubt its national day will be October 7. And it is against Israel — under attack on multiple fronts in an attempt to destroy it — that Macron seeks to impose sanctions. Hamas, for its part, has already praised Macron’s statements. Hamas knows why.
