Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just wrapped up a phone call with his counterpart Emmanuel Macron to discuss the war in Gaza, the Israeli premier’s office says.
Macron came under fire in Jerusalem last week for criticizing the IDF’s military campaign, saying it is “de facto” killing “ladies and babies” in Gaza.
Paris has since sought to soften its criticism while still calling for a ceasefire.
