France and Israel Align on Iran but Clash on Gaza Strikes

Diplomatic talks in Paris reaffirm shared opposition to Iran's nuclear ambitions while exposing deep divisions over Israeli military actions in Gaza.

Israeli and French foreign ministers met in Paris to discuss shared concerns about Iran's nuclear program, emphasizing their commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar described Iran as a dangerous state and extremist regime that supports terrorism, posing a threat to the entire region.
France raised strong concerns over recent Israeli strikes on UN buildings in Gaza, which injured two French nationals, including a gendarme and a demining specialist.
Despite tensions, Saar invited his French counterpart, Jean-Noël Barrot, to visit Israel for continued dialogue, signaling an effort to sustain diplomatic engagement.
Both nations are also collaborating with the UK and maintaining a more intense dialogue with the US on addressing Iran's nuclear ambitions, reflecting broader international coordination.
