There are ten of thousands of children who are mutilated without families. That’s what we are talking about when we talk about Gaza. Its not a real estate project. Man and Women have faced tragedy and how these children will grow up. Can you imagine for a second”.

“There are two things: One is the legitimate right of Palestinian people to have a State, a territory and to live in peace, and the legitimate right of Israeli people to have their State”, Macron said.
