Macron, in a telephone conversation with Netanyahu, also reiterated his opposition to any ground operation in Rafah, a city that is currently sheltering about 1.5 million Palestinians.
The French President informed Netanyahu that he is planning to submit a draft resolution to the UN Security Council to demand an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza.
The Israeli regime has, so far, defied international calls, including those from its western backers to stop its genocidal war on Gaza that has internally displaced one-third of the population and pushed tens of thousands to the brink of famine.
Denouncing Israeli expansionism
In the continuation of his conversation, Macron also strongly condemned the Zionist regime's announcement on Friday regarding the seizure of 800 hectares of more Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank for new settlements.
Meanwhile, the German Foreign Ministry also condemned the regime's decision to confiscate Palestinian lands.
Berlin strongly condemns the announcement of the confiscation of more than 800 hectares of land belonging to Palestinians in the Jordan Valley region of the West Bank, the ministry wrote in a statement on its X social media account, adding that the move would further fuel tensions in this very fragile situation.
All Israeli settlements are illegal under the Geneva Convention and international laws and are in breach of UN Security Council Resolution 2334.
