The French Foreign Ministry employee who was killed in an Israeli air strike on southern Gaza had remained in the strip to report on what was happening on the ground.
“France always kept cultural diplomatic antennas in Gaza through a French centre,” Renaud Girard, chief foreign affairs correspondent for Le Figaro, told Al Jazeera.
Girard said the employee worked for that centre, while his family had left Gaza.
“France is very concerned by the humanitarian situation in Gaza that’s why it was useful for France to have a reliable witness to tell the French embassy what was happening there,” Girard said.
