Saudi crown prince, Macron discuss repercussions of Israel-Iran clash
RIYADH: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and France's President Emmanuel Macron had a phone call on Friday to discuss the latest developments in the region, according to the Saudi Press Agency. The two leaders discussed the repercussions of Israeli strikes on Iran, which has killed 78 people, including generals and scientists, and wounded 320 others. Iran retaliated later in the day, raining missiles and weaponized drones on Israeli cities, causing destruction. In their phone conversation, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Macron "emphasized the necessity of making every effort to de-escalate the situation, the importance of exercising restraint, and resolving all disputes through diplomatic means," the SPA report said. Macron had earlier announced that a UN conference on a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians that France and Saudi Arabia planned to co-chair next week in New York had been postponed because of the Israel-Iran clash. "While we have to postpone this conference for logistical and security reasons, it will take place as soon as possible," Macron said at a press conference.
