Fabien Roussel's statements after the meeting with Macron

TRANSCRIPTION: The negotiations are tough. Both with Hamas - France is not in direct talks with Hamas, but Qatar is - and with the Israeli government, because at the moment it is difficult for the two parties to agree, Hamas being prepared to free the hostages in exchange for a humanitarian truce and the Israeli government not wanting to hear talk of a humanitarian truce unless all the hostages are freed. That's what's causing the impasse today. But it does show that there is a window of opportunity, because Hamas is prepared to free the hostages in exchange for a humanitarian truce, a ceasefire. And we must succeed in obtaining this. We must succeed in obtaining this humanitarian truce, this ceasefire so that the hostages can be released, even if not all of them, but at least the youngest children and the women. Finally, these are the discussions that are taking place. Afterwards, the President gave us some information that is confidential, so I won't reveal it in order to let the negotiation process take place in the best possible way. The priority is indeed the release of the hostages and to obtain a humanitarian truce for the people who are there. We have also raised the question of the Palestinian children and babies who are in hospitals and who are in danger of dying for lack of care because the hospitals will no longer be supplied with food. So what kind of discussions are taking place to open up a space, a humanitarian corridor, so that these Palestinian children, these premature babies, these new-born babies, can be protected and get out of Gaza.
