Macron receives Abbas, no alternatives to peace negotiations

Receiving Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the Elysée, Macron noted that “violence and terrorism persist in the Middle East”. He then called for “the resumption of direct political dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians”, which today has come to a standstill. “It is an ambitious path, littered with obstacles, but we have no alternative to relaunching our peace efforts,” Macron insisted.
