French minister says Israel responsible for 'indefensible conditions' in Gaza

French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne says Israel is the party responsible for the dire conditions that led to the aid convoy attack in Gaza City in Thursday.

Speaking to French newspaper Le Monde, Sejourne said: "The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has been catastrophic for several weeks, even months. And this creates indefensible and unjustifiable situations for which Israelis are responsible."

He called on Israel to listen, as he says his government's demands to increase passage points and aid deliveries have not been met by Israeli authorities.

"Responsibility for blocking aid clearly lies with Israel," he said.
