Statement by M. Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development

Paris, July 27, 2014

Attacks resumed in Gaza and Israel this morning.

France calls for the immediate resumption of the humanitarian truce, a genuine ceasefire and the opening of negotiations, in support of the many international appeals to that effect.

Whatever the reasons put forward, nothing can justify the continuation of the bloody clashes and their intolerable trail of death and destruction./.
