French President Emmanuel Macron met his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah el-Sisi during a visit to Cairo on Wednesday, during which the two spoke about the ongoing Israel-Palestine war. 

Sisi said Macron had understood that any displacement of Palestinians from Gaza towards Egypt would be "extremely dangerous". 

"We condemn all actions that affect all civilians and this should be addressed with one standard," Sisi added. 

The two leaders agreed to work to contain the war, introduce aid into Gaza, and prevent other actors from entering hostilities, according to the Egyptian president. 

Macron said that it was essential to get fuel supplies to hospitals and that a French navy ship and plane would soon arrive in the region to bring supplies to Gaza.
