Macron and King Abdullah discussed Israel and the Palestinian territories, and the French president condemned an attack on Friday (June 16) by three Palestinians who killed an Israeli policewoman as well as "continuing settlement expansion".
Speaking from the Elysee presidential palace, Macron also paid tribute to an Iraqi journalist who was killed and three French reporters who were wounded after a mine exploded in Mosul where they were covering an advance by Iraqi forces against Islamic State militants.
King Abdullah called for a "political solution to regional conflict" to prevent sectarian violence and the threat from terrorism. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
