Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel and France "cooperate on many areas, including security."

Speaking at a joint news conference following his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Netanyahu added, "As you well know, that cooperation has saved many lives. Israel has provided valuable intelligence to many countries in Europe and many countries outside Europe, that has prevented dozens of horrible terrorist attacks, some of which unfortunately you have suffered. We fight together in this fight against barbarism, and you're a principle leader in that fight. Across the Middle East as well, your efforts in Lebanon are to be commended; your efforts to prevent the spread of Iranian aggression are to be commended."
