Why should we abolish the death penalty? Martin Luther King III @OfficialMLK3, son of Martin Luther King Jr. explains: "First of all, it's morally wrong. Secondly, [...] it's not a deterrent. And also, it's disproportionately applied."
France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, and the United States — We express our steadfast and united support to the State of Israel, and our unequivocal condemnation of Hamas and its appalling acts of terrorism.
Here is our joint statement.
We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned.
There is never any justification for terrorism.
In recent days, the world has watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a music festival, and kidnapped elderly women, children, and entire families, who are now being held as hostages.
Our countries will support Israel in its efforts to defend itself and its people against such atrocities. We further emphasise that this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage.
All of us recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, and support equal measures of justice and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
But make no mistake: Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing for the Palestinian people other than more terror and bloodshed.
Over the coming days, we will remain united and coordinated, together as allies, and as common friends of Israel, to ensure Israel is able to defend itself, and to ultimately set the conditions for a peaceful and integrated Middle East region.
Toutes les équipes du Quai d'Orsay à Tel-Aviv, Jérusalem et Paris sont mobilisées au service de la communauté française et des Français de passage.
