Macron says France, Saudi Arabia to co-chair conference on two-state solution

The French president says he spoke with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and that they agreed to co-chair a conference on the two-state solution “to help revive a political perspective for both Israelis and Palestinians”.

In a summary of his call with the crown prince, Macron said, “We condemn the resumption of Israeli strikes on Gaza,” adding that “a return to the ceasefire is essential for the release of all hostages and the protection of civilians”.

Macron also welcomed the work of Saudi Arabia and “its Arab partners on a credible framework for the day after in Gaza, which must serve as the basis for discussions”.
