Singapore and France Condemn Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's Blockade Policy in Gaza
Published on 6.2.25
Singapore and France have joined the growing chorus of international voices criticizing Israel's restrictions on humanitarian aid to Gaza. The situation in Gaza remains dire, with food security experts warning that starvation looms for one in five people due to the ongoing blockade.
During a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong described the restrictions as 'completely unacceptable'. Macron echoed these sentiments, calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's actions in Gaza 'shameful' and warning that France may harden its position if Israel continues to block humanitarian aid.
Singapore supports a negotiated two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which it believes is the only path to a lasting resolution.
