On the 29th, French President Emmanuel Macron posted on social media that he had spoken with Iranian President Hassan Pir-Zaeedyane via phone call, calling for compliance with the Israeli-Iranian ceasefire agreement and expressing hope for Iran to return to the negotiation table.
Macron stated that he had issued a series of appeals to Iran, including adhering to the ceasefire to help restore peace in the Middle East; returning to the negotiation table to address ballistic missile and nuclear issues; maintaining the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to resume its work in Iran as soon as possible.
On the 25th, Macron had also called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to urge all parties to adhere to the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, and to negotiate a solution to the Iranian nuclear issue. Macron also called for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip of Palestine, and for the implementation of the “two-state solution”.
