French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu indicated on Tuesday that the French helicopter carrier "Dixmude" has docked in Egypt and may begin treating injured children from Gaza later this week, as Western powers seek to intensify efforts to provide aid to the region. This is the first Western military ship to dock in Egypt since the onset of the conflict, arriving on Monday in Al-Arish, 50 kilometers west of Gaza, which is now a hub for international aid to the area. The ship's arrival comes amid a truce in the fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to release Israeli hostages taken by Hamas militants during the attack on October 7, in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.
