French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday that France and Egypt will organize "a humanitarian conference for Gaza in the coming weeks" because the priority now is to provide Palestinian territory after the release of the hostages by Hamas.

The French President has stated that another priority, after the humanitarian, will be "to ensure that there is a framework for restoring security".

To this end, it has indicated that it will work with the US, European countries and the Middle Easttolay the foundations for the creation of an "international security stabilization force ", as well as governance involving the Palestinians.

After all, it is a question of reaching a solution between the two States, "which is the only political perspective that really enables lasting peace".

With regard to the establishment of the international force, he has pointed out that it is creating a "consensus" that it should be "primarily regional forces", perhaps with the contribution of Indonesia.
