France’s Macron says anti-ISIL coalition should fight Hamas

French President Emmanuel Macron has suggested that the international coalition brought together to fight ISIL should be broadened to include the fight against the Palestinian group Hamas.
In a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday, Macron offered “solidarity” in the aftermath of a deadly attack by Hamas on October 7 and said that France and Israel share a “common enemy” in defeating “terrorism”.
Macron’s visit comes more than two weeks after Hamas members stormed into Israel, killing at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians, including about 30 French citizens.
Israel has since relentlessly bombed Gaza, so far killing more than 5,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, while it prepares for a ground invasion of the blockaded area.
The Israeli leader reiterated that Hamas would be destroyed in the continuing war and that after the fighting, no one would live “under Hamas tyranny”.
Netanyahu also warned that the war might take time.
