French President Emmanuel Macron said today, Saturday, that France and the United States (US) will double their efforts to prevent the situation in the region from escalating, particularly in Lebanon, stressing the need to reduce tensions between Israel and Lebanon.
This statement was made during a press conference at the Élysée Palace with his US counterpart, Joe Biden, who began his first state visit to France today.
The French president reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the opening of prospects for a political solution, which is the only way to create the conditions for a just and lasting peace that meets the security demands of both peoples.
