French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday urges a halt to arms deliveries to Israel, calling for “a political solution” in the nearly yearlong Gaza war sparked by Hamas’s October 7 attack.

“I think that today, the priority is that we return to a political solution, that we stop delivering weapons to fight in Gaza,” Macron tells broadcaster France Inter, adding that France is not sending any arms to Israel.
