French President Emmanuel Macron will hold a trilateral summit on the situation in Gaza with Egypt President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Jordan's King Abdullah II on Monday and Tuesday. This comes as Israel steps up its new offensive against the Palestinian militant group Hamas and renews strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel has pushed to seize territory in Gaza since the collapse of a short-lived truce in its war with Hamas, in what it has called a "strategy" to force the militants to free hostages still in captivity.
