Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United States and major EU nations call for more pressure to get a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, the French presidency says.
The leaders of the United States, Germany, France, Britain and Italy “agreed to redouble their efforts to obtain a ceasefire. Pressure must increase to get there,” the French presidency says.
It issued its statement after President Barack Obama, Chancellor Angela Merkel, President Francois Hollande, Prime Minister David Cameron and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi held phone calls to establish their joint position.
“The deterioration of the situation just plays into the hands of extremists,” the presidency says in a statement.
