French President Emmanuel Macron said his US counterpart Donald Trump has made an offer for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, reports CNN.
“There is an offer that has been made, especially to have a ceasefire and to initiate broader discussions,” Macron told reporters at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada on Monday.
“If the United States of America can achieve a ceasefire, it is a very good thing and France will support it and we wish for it,” Macron said, speaking in French.
“It is absolutely essential that all strikes from both sides against energy, administrative, and cultural infrastructures, and even more so against the civilian population, cease,” he said, adding: “Nothing justifies this.”
Meanwhile, blasts rock Tehran and air raid sirens go off in Tel Aviv as Iran says it is preparing for what it calls the largest and most intense missile attack in history on Israeli soil, after a strike on Iranian state television.
