I just spoke with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. I welcomed his Jeddah initiative, which enabled the start of peace negotiations in Ukraine. Regarding the Middle East, we condemn the resumption of Israeli strikes on Gaza. A return to the ceasefire is essential for the release of all hostages and the protection of civilians. I welcomed the work carried out by Saudi Arabia with its Arab partners on a credible framework for the day after in Gaza, which must serve as the basis for discussions. We will work together to reopen a much-needed political horizon. The conference on the two-state solution, which we will co-chair, must help revive a political perspective for both Israelis and Palestinians. In Syria and Lebanon, France and Saudi Arabia share the same objectives: a fully sovereign Lebanon and a united, stable Syria engaged in an inclusive transition. The strategic partnership signed during my visit to Saudi Arabia allows us to move forward together for peace and security in the region.
