In a joint opinion piece published in the French newspaper Le Monde, President Emmanuel Macron, alongside his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordan’s King Abdullah II, advocated for a “permanent” and “unconditional” ceasefire in Gaza and a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis.
The leaders did not attach conditions to the ceasefire, such as the release of hostages or the defeat of Hamas. However, they stressed the urgent implementation of the Security Council’s demand for the immediate release of all hostages.
Given the humanitarian emergency in Gaza, France continues to deliver medication and food to the population.
Together with Jordan and other partners, today's airlift operation allowed the transportation of over 110 tons of cargo.
