    French President Emmanuel Macron spoke on Tuesday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, Qatar's Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to discuss the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

    Macron's office said in a statement that he "condemned recent Israeli air strikes that have targeted UN schools as well as displaced citizens in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp which have left a large number of civilian victims. He also reaffirmed France's insistence that Hamas immediately release the hostages."
