During a visit to Cairo, French President Emmanuel Macron called for a ceasefire in Gaza and demanded that Israel lift its blockade to allow humanitarian aid into the besieged territory.
Macron held high-level discussions with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi at the Ittihadiya Palace, where the two sides aimed to sign a number of cooperation agreements.
The leaders were also scheduled to hold a trilateral summit with Jordan’s King Abdullah II to address the ongoing crisis in Gaza, reports Al Jazareea.
