France FM urges 'immediate humanitarian truce' in Gaza war

"An immediate, durable and observed humanitarian truce is absolutely necessary and must be able to lead to a ceasefire," France's Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna told reporters during a visit to Qatar.

France's Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna called Sunday for an "immediate" humanitarian pause in the Israel-Hamas war as casualties climb in the besieged Gaza Strip, whose population is living on dwindling supplies.
