Macron: We are trying to reach a ceasefire in Gaza
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that his country is trying to “reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip,” which has been subjected to a devastating Israeli war for two and a half months.
This came in a post on his account on the “X” platform, in which he touched on his meeting with Jordanian King Abdullah II as part of his two-day visit to Amman.
Macron noted that France and Jordan are working together to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza as soon as possible and meet the needs of the peoples of the region.
He pointed out that his country has provided aid worth 100 million euros to the residents of Gaza so far, without additional details.
Macron explained that he supports the establishment of a humanitarian aid platform for Gaza in Jordan so that aid can reach the region, and that his country has already contributed to this platform.
In this context, Macron confirmed that 11 tons of humanitarian aid arrived in the Jordanian capital, Amman, today, and additional aid will be sent in the coming days.
The French President stressed the necessity of a two-state solution regarding the Palestinian issue.
