Macron urges long-term Gaza ceasefire in talks with Abbas

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, voicing his satisfaction with the ceasefire’s first stage being respected and called for the truce to continue long-term.

He welcomed the release of hostages and the pause in strikes, calling each humanitarian effort a sign of hope for Gaza. “Every hostage released is a huge relief. Every day without strikes, every humanitarian action, hope for Gaza,” Macron stated.

The French president said he and Abbas also discussed a plan for Gaza floated by Arab countries, as an alternative to Washington’s rebuilding plan which would displace Palestinians. He further emphasized the goal of establishing a credible roadmap toward a two-state solution, which he called the only path to lasting peace and security in the region.
