President Emmanuel Macron on Monday said France “will do everything possible” to avoid a Middle East “conflagration”, urging Israel to aim to isolate Iran rather than escalate the conflict. Noting that the situation in the region was “very unstable”, Macron said Iran’s response to the deadly April 1 strike on its consulate in Damascus was “disproportionate”. Tehran on Sunday maintained it exercised its “right to self-defence” in the drone and missile attack it launched on Israel over the weekend. Follow FRANCE 24 for live updates.
