French President Emmanuel Macron expected to visit Israel

French President Emmanuel Macron is set to visit Israel on Tuesday.

Earlier this week he hinted at the possibility of a state visit to Israel "when we can obtain a concrete agreement either on non-escalation, or on humanitarian issues and, more broadly, on everything".

"I want to be very cautious here… so as not to endanger the intense talks we are currently conducting," Macron said at the time. "But they are progressing and we are following these talks hour by hour."
