i24 News – France’s President Emmanuel Macron, his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and Jordan’s King Abdullah II will hold talks Tuesday aimed at seeking a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, the French presidency said.

Sisi is currently in Paris for summits on Africa while Abdullah will join by video conference, the Elysee said.
