French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday said he would hold a trilateral summit on the situation in Gaza with Egypt President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi and His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan.
"In response to the Gaza emergency and during my visit to Egypt at President Al Sisi's invitation, we will hold a trilateral summit with the Egyptian president and the King of Jordan," Macron wrote on X ahead of his trip.
The French president is expected in Cairo on Sunday evening, where he will hold talks with his Egyptian counterpart on Monday morning.
The trilateral summit will be held the same day in the Egyptian capital, according to Macron's office.
On Tuesday, Macron will also visit the Egyptian port of Al Arish, 50 kilometres west of the Gaza Strip, to meet humanitarian and security workers and demonstrate his "constant mobilisation in favour of a ceasefire".
Al Arish is a transit point for international aid intended for Gaza.
