European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Thursday that she was happy to read that France's President Emmanuel Macron had proposed sanctions relief for Syria.

Macron said on Wednesday he would urge the EU to end sanctions on Syria when they come up for renewal in June.

"We have currently the ongoing discussions about the sanctions relief on Syria, and I was happy to read that actually President Macron is in favor of the relief of sanctions," Kallas told reporters in Warsaw.

Early Friday, sirens sounded in parts of Israel as its military said it detected a missile launch by Yemen’s Houthi militant group targeting the country.

The Israeli military said it intercepted the missile as booms could be heard in Jerusalem, reported The Associated Press.

The Houthis did not immediately claim the attack, but it can take hours or even days for the group to acknowledge their assaults.
