Jordan's King Abdullah called on Wednesday for the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza to be restored and for aid flows to resume.

"Israel's resumption of attacks on Gaza is an extremely dangerous step that adds further devastation to an already dire humanitarian situation," he said, standing next to French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.

Macron also said that negotiations between Israel and Hamas over the crisis in Gaza had to resume.
"There is no military solution in Gaza," said Macron during the joint press conference with King Abdullah.
