French President Emmanuel Macron told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu there are “too many civilian losses” in Israel’s war in Gaza.

Macron reminded Netanyahu of the “absolute necessity to distinguish terrorists from the population,” said the French presidency.

In addition to speaking to Netanyahu, Macron also spoke with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

In their conversation, Macron condemned violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, AFP reported.

“I have decided to charter a new aircraft from the Air Force that will transport over 10 tons of medical supplies early next week,” Macron posted on his X account.

He also said France is preparing a hospital ship "Dixmude" that will set sail "at the start of the week and arrive in Egypt in the coming days".

“Regarding the injured or ill children in Gaza in need of urgent care, France is mobilizing all available means, especially air transport, so that they can receive treatment in France if it is useful and necessary. Arrangements are made to receive up to 50 patients in our hospitals,” he added.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called on the new government to complete the path of economic reform at all levels and focus on alleviating the burden on citizens.
On Wednesday, the new Egyptian government, headed by Dr. Mostafa Madbouly was sworn in before the president. Comprising 30 ministers, the new cabinet saw the merging of some ministries and the introduction of new ones, especially the economic portfolios.
During the meeting, Sisi stressed “the importance of achieving a tangible breakthrough in the service fields, especially health and education”.
He “emphasized the need to build and develop the Egyptian industry, as a strategic goal in the process of building the state,” according to an official statement by the Egyptian presidential spokesman.
Sisi has also asked the new government to “seek to attract internal and external investments and encourage the growth of the private sector in order to improve the state’s comprehensive financial and economic performance and achieve the aspirations of the Egyptian people for development and progress.”
The new government witnessed the merging of the Ministries of Transport and Industry into one portfolio headed by Kamel al-Wazir, who also assumed the position of Deputy Prime Minister for Industry Affairs.
Egyptian presidential spokesman Ahmed Fahmy said that Sisi underlined the importance of comprehensive development of policies and government performance that would be key to face the upcoming challenges.
The Egyptian president also asked his government to “maintain and strengthen efforts to preserve Egyptian national security, in light of unprecedented regional and global challenges.”
