MOSKOU (Antara) – French President Emmanuel Macron insisted on Monday that six French citizens who were held on the ship to Gaza to Gaza were immediately sent home, said the explanation of the Elysee Palace.
“The President of the Republic has demanded that the return of our six French citizens, whose ships are intercepted by the Israeli authorities off the coast of the Gaza Strip, executed as quickly as possible,” the president said in a statement published by the French BFMTV broadcaster.
The French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said that Paris had requested consular access to those who were held to facilitate their return.
