Award-winning Israeli author David Grossman controversially labeled Israel's Gaza campaign a 'genocide' for the first time, citing the devastating images and accounts he's witnessed. While acknowledging Israel's not solely to blame and Hamas's control over death toll figures, he expressed deep concern over the famine in Gaza and Israel's actions. He attributed the conflict to both sides succumbing to power's temptations, while advocating for a two-state solution with specific conditions, including a demilitarized Palestinian state. Grossman, a long-time critic of Netanyahu, supports France's recognition of a Palestinian state.
