French President Emmanuel Macron informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “the number of civilian casualties is very large” in the Gaza Strip, reminding him of “the absolute necessity of distinguishing between militants and the population,” the Elysee Palace announced on Sunday.

Macron also spoke to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, assuring him that he “condemns acts of violence against Palestinian civilians” in the occupied West Bank, according to the French presidency.

It is noteworthy that the office of French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday that France will send more medical supplies and a second medical ship to the Gaza Strip.

The office added, in a statement, that France will send a plane carrying more than 10 tons of medical supplies this week, and will also contribute to sending medical aid from the European Union on November 23 and 30.

France is currently preparing a second ship to work as a hospital, which is the Dixmude helicopter carrier, which will arrive in Egypt within the coming days.

France has already sent its first French helicopter carriers to the region, with about 60 beds and two operating areas.
