Emmanuel Macron is receiving today at the Elysee Palace Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, to discuss the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, will meet on Tuesday with Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian Authority, to discuss the "full implementation" of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza. This meeting takes place in the context of France's official recognition of the Palestinian state, made during the UN General Assembly. The two leaders will address the next steps of the peace plan, including issues related to security, governance, and reconstruction, in collaboration with Arab and international partners.

Macron will emphasize the importance of continuing humanitarian aid in Gaza and will reaffirm the necessity of reforming the Palestinian Authority, deemed essential for sustainable stability and the creation of a viable Palestinian state. Donald Trump's peace plan, which led to a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, and the Franco-Saudi initiative provide an opportunity for the reformed Palestinian Authority to take control of Gaza.
