France, Egypt, and Jordan Hold Trilateral Summit on Gaza Crisis | WPN World People News

On April 5, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he will hold a trilateral summit with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Jordan's King Abdullah II to address the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

Following the collapse of a temporary ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, the Israeli military resumed its operations in the Gaza Strip. Israeli authorities stated that the renewed offensive aims to pressure Hamas into releasing the remaining hostages while also escalating strikes in Lebanon and Syria.

Macron wrote on social media platform X: “In response to the emergency situation in Gaza, I will participate in a trilateral summit with King Abdullah II during my visit to Egypt, at the invitation of President Sisi.” Macron is expected to arrive in Cairo on the evening of April 6 and meet with President Sisi on the morning of April 7. According to Macron’s office, the trilateral summit will take place in Cairo on the same day.

On April 8, Macron will also visit the port city of El-Arish in Egypt, where he will meet with humanitarian and security personnel, reaffirming his commitment to “continue mobilizing efforts for a ceasefire.” El-Arish, located about 50 kilometers west of the Gaza Strip, serves as a key transit hub for international aid entering Gaza.
