Macron expresses support for ceasefire deal proposal in conversation with Netanyahu

France's President Emmanuel Macron spoke on Tuesday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and expressed his support for the Israeli proposal for a ceasefire presented by the US President Joe Biden, according to a statement by the Elysee Palace.

The French president added that the agreement should form the basis for reaching a two-state solution, which he said is "the only way in which Israel will be able to regain its security, and in which the Palestinians will receive a response to their legitimate aspirations".
