French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed that an international coalition fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria widen its scope to include the fight against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza. Macron gave no details on how the US-led coalition of dozens of countries, of which Israel is not a member, could be involved. His advisers said, however, that the coalition's participation would not necessarily imply boots on the ground, but could include intelligence-sharing.<br />''<br />''Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Macron stressed that France and Israel shared terrorism as their common enemy. France is ready for the international coalition against Daesh in which we are taking part in operations in Iraq and Syria to also fight against Hamas, he told reporters, referring to Islamic State.<br />''<br />''Macron, who warned against the risks of a regional conflict, also said the fight against Hamas must be without mercy but not without rules.<br />''<br />''Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not directly comment on Macron's proposal but said the fight was a battle between the Axis of evil and the free world. This battle is not merely our own it's everybody's battle, he said. The U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State was formed in September 2014.<br />
