French President Emmanuel Macron has called on Europe to adopt a tougher stance against Israel if the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen.

Speaking alongside Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong ahead of the Shangri-La Dialogue security conference, Macron criticized Israel’s ongoing blockade and military offensive in the Gaza Strip. “The blockade is leading to an unsustainable situation on the ground,” he said. “If the humanitarian situation is not addressed in the coming hours and days, we must toughen our collective stance even more.”

Macron also said France may impose sanctions on Israeli settlers and urged the Israeli government to change its approach. He reaffirmed France’s support for a two-state solution and stated, “Recognizing the state of Palestine is not only a moral duty, but also a political necessity.”

Srebrenica Genocide Victims Laid to Rest on 30th Anniversary

Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.

The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.

Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.

Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
