300 French writers called for sanctions against the Israeli occupation and an end to its aggression, accusing it of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
In an article they published, the writers condemned the genocide against the people of Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire.
They said: “It was necessary to describe crimes against civilians, wherever they occurred, as war crimes and crimes against humanity. Today, what is happening in Gaza must be called genocide.
They stressed the need to impose sanctions on Israel, while reiterating the demand for an immediate ceasefire that guarantees justice and security for the Palestinians, and an immediate end to this genocide.
The list of signatories included two Nobel Prize-winning writers in Literature, Annie Ernaux and Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio.
It also included a number of winners of the Prix Goncourt, including Hervé Le Tellier, Jérôme Ferrari, Laurent Gaudet, Brigitte Giro, Leïla Slimani, Leiled Salvér, Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, Nicolas Mathieu, and Éric Vuillard.
Since October 7, 2023, the occupation has been committing genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip, leaving more than 175,000 citizens dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, in addition to extensive destruction of infrastructure and homes.
