French President Emmanuel Macron, center, speaks during a meeting with officials from Western and Arab nations, the United Nations and nongovernmental organizations at the Elysee Palace, in Paris, Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023. Macron has opened a Gaza aid conference with an appeal for Israel to protect civilians, saying that"all lives have equal worth" and that fighting terrorism"can never be carried out without rules.
But Macron also stressed that civilians must be protected. "It’s absolutely essential. It is non-negotiable,” he said. More than 1.5 million people — or about 70% of Gaza's population — have fled their homes, and an estimated $1.2 billion is needed to respond to the crisis in Palestinian areas. Thursday's discussions will also include financial support and other ways to help Gaza's civilians. Over 50 nations were expected to attend, including several European countries, the United States and regional powers such as Jordan, Egypt and the Gulf countries, the French presidency said. Also attending is Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh., the U.N.
European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are also attending the conference. The 27-nation bloc is the world’s top aid supplier to the Palestinians. It has sent almost 78 million euros this year.
