Speaking at a news conference in Brussels after a meeting of EU leaders, French President Emmanuel Macron says US President Donald Trump is “very determined” to broker a new ceasefire in Gaza.

Macron, speaking following a phone call with the US president, says Trump is “very much aware of the importance of a ceasefire” for Gaza following the US-brokered ceasefire this week that halted 12 days of fighting between Israel and Iran.

“I think his commitment is crucial on this issue,” Macron says.

The two leaders discussed the Middle East and Ukraine, according to Macron’s office.
