Macron discusses Israel's war on Gaza with Arab ministers

French President Emmanuel Macron held talks on Friday with Qatar's prime minister and the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan on the Gaza war, the French presidency said.

Efforts to revive a "two-state" solution to the conflict and humanitarian efforts for Gaza dominated the talks. 

The officials also discussed "all the levers that could be activated in order to obtain the reopening of all crossing points" into Gaza, the Elysee palace said in a statement.

The meeting took place ahead of an expected visit to Paris by CIA chief Bill Burns aimed at reviving stalled hostage deal talks.
