Macron: France Ready for Gaza Stabilization Role

Paris, October 9, 2025 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – French President Emmanuel Macron said a meeting with foreign ministers in Paris on Thursday aims to work in parallel with U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan, calling the coming hours decisive for cementing peace and saying France is ready to contribute to a temporary international stabilization mission in Gaza.

Macron added that the acceleration of Israeli settlements in the West Bank runs counter to the Gaza plan and is unrelated to Hamas. He recalled his earlier proposal—developed with Saudi Arabia and supported by many U.N. members—outlining a pathway toward Palestinian statehood.
