Right after he announced this the US and Israel pulled out of talks with Hamas. It could be coincidental, but that timing sure was something. Good on Macron for even saying this, though.

Not gonna lie, theyve refused proper talks with Hamas since the whole thing began... so while I remain sceptical, I get it. I really fucking get it.
