French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Egypt on Monday to support the Gaza ceasefire deal brokered by the United States and discuss the next steps for implementing the peace plan. Macron is expected to meet with regional partners in Sharm El-Sheikh, the site of the recent indirect talks that led to the agreement between Israel and Hamas. The trip is part of a broader Franco-Saudi initiative aimed at promoting peace and security in the Middle East, emphasizing the coexistence of Israeli and Palestinian states. Macron's visit follows France's recent recognition of a Palestinian state, a move that has drawn criticism from both Israel and the United States, and comes amid ongoing political challenges at home.
