Overview

  • French President Emmanuel Macron will attend a trilateral summit in Cairo on April 7, alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi and Jordanian King Abdullah II.
  • The summit aims to relaunch diplomatic efforts to address the worsening humanitarian and security crisis in Gaza following the resumption of Israeli military operations on March 18.
  • Macron is scheduled to visit al-Arich near Gaza on April 8 to meet with humanitarian and security actors and advocate for a ceasefire.
  • The humanitarian toll in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, with nearly all of its 2.4 million residents displaced and over 50,000 deaths reported since October 2023.
  • Hamas recently released a video showing Israeli hostages, further complicating efforts to resolve the conflict as Israeli leadership supports intensified military action to secure their release.
