France's Macron rejects 'flattening Gaza' as means of fighting terrorism

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that combating terrorism does not mean "to flatten Gaza", alluding to Israel's actions following the attack on 7 October. 

"We cannot let the idea take root that an efficient fight against terrorism implies to flatten Gaza or attack civilian populations indiscriminately," Macron told the France 5 broadcaster.
