French President Emmanuel Macron, on a visit to Cairo, set up a call about Gaza with US President Donald Trump, his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and Jordan’s King Abdullah II, the French presidency says.

“On the initiative of the president of the Republic, a call was organized today with President Trump” and the other leaders “to discuss the situation in Gaza,” the Elysee palace says.

The call came hours before Trump was due to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington.
