"Israeli President Herzog and French President Macron Unite Against Hamas in Historic Coalition"

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has expressed support for French President Emmanuel Macron's proposal to form a coalition to combat Hamas, likening it to the international effort against ISIS. Macron had suggested expanding the existing coalition fighting ISIS to include Hamas during his recent visit to Israel. Herzog endorsed the idea, stating that it would demonstrate active support from allies. Israel has been increasing its troop presence in the Gaza Strip, focusing on destroying Hamas' military infrastructure and rescuing hostages. Herzog also raised concerns about violent anti-Semitic protests, citing a recent incident in Russia.
