"Today, after bombings that have caused countless civilian casualties, thousands of Palestinians are threatened with certain death by a cynically organized famine, and it is an entire people that we are trying to expel from the territories where they live," write Marine Tondelier, Olivier Faure and Fabien Roussel. "The urgency is also to free the Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza," they write.

They call for "sanctions against the Israeli government" and "concrete and immediate action against the deliberate policy of Benjamin Netanyahu's government ." They demand that France "lead a coalition of states ready to act immediately." "Mr. President, extend your statement of July 24, and act before it is too late!" the letter concludes.
