Falcon powers – French President Emmanuel Macron, in a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, called for the resumption of negotiations on a prisoner exchange and a ceasefire with Hamas.
Macron stressed that the issue of prisoners held by Hamas should be given the highest priority, especially since among them are French citizens, according to a statement issued by the Elysee Palace.
Macron told Netanyahu that “the fate of the Palestinians in Gaza cannot continue to be subjected to operations by Hamas, and the military operation in Gaza must come to a halt.”
Furthermore, Macron expressed strong opposition to an Israeli invasion of Rafah and called for intensified humanitarian aid to enter the region.
