French President Emmanuel Macron has assured Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu that France is "fully committed to doing everything possible to avoid further escalation in the region" following a missile attack on Israel-occupied Golan Heights.
During a telephone conversation on Sunday, Macron pledged to pass on "messages to all parties involved in the conflict", following a rocket attack on the Golan Heights at the weekend that killed twelve young people aged between 10 and 16, and which Israel has attributed to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
