International Calls for Ceasefire in Gaza as French Worker Killed in Israeli Attack

France has called for an "immediate and durable truce" in the Israel-Hamas war, expressing deep concern over the situation in Gaza and the high number of civilian casualties. Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen opposes a ceasefire, calling it a gift to Hamas. The UK and Germany have also called for a "sustainable ceasefire" but stopped short of immediate action. France's Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna is visiting Israel to push for a truce that would lead to the release of hostages and the delivery of aid to Gaza. Israel has no intention of starting another front with Lebanon but will protect its citizens. The UK and Germany are advocating for humanitarian pauses to provide aid and secure the release of hostages.
