French President Emmanuel Macron has warned that the military offensive in Gaza for which Israel has been preparing for weeks could lead to disaster for both set of people.

In a post on X, the French President said he spoke with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi about the developments in Gaza. According to Macron, the three leaders agreed that the military offensive risks plunging the entire region into a cycle of permanent war.

The military offensive in Gaza that Israel is preparing can only lead to disaster for both peoples and risks plunging the entire region into a cycle of permanent war,” Macron stated.

The three leaders acknowledged that only a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages, large-scale delivery of humanitarian assistance, the disarmament of Hamas, and the strengthening of the Palestinian Authority can bring an end to the conflict.
