Trump on Tuesday made a hasty exit from the Group of Seven (G7) summit early as he hinted at greater involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict and warned Tehran residents to evacuate.
Ottawa:French President Emmanuel Macron has claimed that his American counterpart, Donald Trump, is considering the prospect of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, as the deadly conflict between the two warring enemies entered the fifth day. The French leader, who is in Canada for the G7 summit, also warned Israel that forcing a regime change in Tehran would be a "strategic error".
"There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange. An offer was made especially to get a ceasefire and to then kick-start broader discussions ... We have to see now whether the sides will follow," he told reporters at the G7 summit.
Macaron said that he didn't believe the situation in the Middle East would change soon, but "since the US assured they will find a ceasefire and since they can pressure Israel, things may change".
Describing Trump's early exit from the G7 summit as a positive development, the French President said, "Right now I believe negotiations need to restart and that civilians need to be protected."
Macron also called on both Israel and Iran to "end" attacking civilians, saying, "All who have thought that by bombing from the outside you can save a country in spite of itself have always been mistaken."
