Recently, French President Emmanuel Macron announced to end of arms supply to Israel. This decision was taken due to rising concerns about its aggressive actions in Gaza. He believes that ending weapons is not the solution to the problem. Instead of helping Israel, it is important to find a peaceful solution to the problem. According to Macron’s statement,
“The priority today is to return to a political solution and stop sending weapons to fight in Gaza.”
He stressed that France is no longer sending any weapons to Israel. This announcement represents the stance of France on this ongoing conflict. This call to stop arms sales reflects the urgent need for peace. It also highlights that increasing military support to Israel can result in boosting violence and suffering in the region. By taking this step, Macron hopes to find a better solution for both Palestine and Israel that would be beneficial for both of them. His main goal is to boost understanding and cooperation. Both of these factors are important to achieve long-lasting peace.
The United States is one of the great supporters of Israel. This nation provides significant military aid to Israel. The US supplies Israel with about $3 billion in weapons every year. In May, the State Department said that they did not receive any strong evidence to prevent these shipments. They acknowledge that it is ok to think that Israel might be utilizing this military aid in an illegal way that is against humanitarian laws.
In September, Britain also made a decision to stop some arms sales to Israel. According to this nation, sending weapons to Israel is a clear risk that these weapons could result in breaking the already designed international laws. The ongoing conflict in Gaza also raises serious concerns about the responsibilities of international nations. Why did they send weapons to Israel even though these arms are used illegally?
The acts of Britain and the US manifest the ongoing argument regarding arms sales and the gravity of international laws to protect human rights. Countries should correctly consider the latent consequences of their arms transport.
Macron is very worried about the increasing conflict in Gaza. The war continues despite many international calls for a ceasefire. He believes that every nation is busy with its internal matters and no one is paying enough attention to the situation. According to Macron, this also puts Israel’s safety in danger. This war is also increasing hate, which further makes the issues more complicated.
He also discussed the situation in Lebanon and showed concerns that the ongoing conflict is spreading to nearby regions, Lebanon. He warned that if no instant action is taken, then soon Lebanon will also become another Gaza land.
The war between Israel and Hamas has completed its one-year run. On October 7, 2023, this conflict started. From that time to now, the situation has gotten worse. This war is now engulfing other regions such as Lebanon and poses serious risks to nearby nations. This is the reason that there is an urgent need for peace that lasts forever.
This fighting is now affecting Lebanon and poses serious risks to nearby countries. This highlights the urgent need for a peaceful solution to prevent further conflict and suffering in the region.
Many human and financial losses have accrued due to this conflict. Many righteous civilians were caught and more than 1200 individuals died in the current clashes, including Israel. In Gaza, this numbering is more than 41,800 lives due to military actions, according to the Health Ministry.
The UN has characterized these numbers as real and pointed up the acute humanitarian crises unfurl in the region. To lessen the tension and fulfill the needs of infected people, immediate diplomatic efforts are necessary.
