French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot strongly criticized the U.S. and Israel-led humanitarian body in Gaza, describing it as “shameful” and accusing it of causing bloodshed.
According to Alqahera News, Barrot made the remarks in a statement on Thursday, stressing that the entity, which claims to address humanitarian needs in Gaza, has instead contributed to worsening the crisis and fueling violence.
The French minister’s comments come amid mounting international concerns over the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, where aid delivery has been severely hindered by ongoing hostilities and restrictions.
Barrot’s condemnation underscores France’s growing criticism of current international mechanisms managing the crisis in Gaza, and reflects Paris’s call for a more transparent and effective humanitarian framework that prioritizes civilian protection.
