French President Emmanuel Macron has just touched down at Ben Gurion airport in Israel, and will be meeting Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later today.
The purpose of the visit is to show France’s solidarity with Israel, assist in the release of hostages still being held by Hamas, and to prevent any escalation of the current conflict, his advisers told Reuters.
Macron will also meet Israeli President Isaac Herzog, and centrist leaders Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid from the opposition during his visit.
