During a lunch at the Elysée, the two leaders reiterated the “need to establish, without further delay, an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza and once again called for the release of all hostages”including that of two French people.
They agreed to “continue their joint work towards a lasting and credible solution to the crisis on the basis of the two-state solution”. “In this perspective, the Palestinian Authority should be supported and not weakened,” they stressed, noting that “any obstacle to the transfer of its income or to its banking system was unacceptable”. They also greeted the “reforms initiated by the Palestinian government and called to continue and deepen them”.
