Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi met with French President Emmanuel Macron in Cairo on Wednesday. 

The Egyptian president said on Wednesday that he agreed with Macron to work to contain the crisis in Gaza, introduce aid and seek to prevent other parties from entering the conflict.

Sisi said Macron understood that any displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza strip towards Egyptian territory would be "extremely dangerous." "We condemn all actions that affect all civilians and this should be addressed with one standard," Sisi added.

Macron said on Wednesday at their joint news conference that humanitarian aid must enter into Gaza without obstacles.

Macron said that it was essential to get fuel supplies to hospitals, adding that a French navy ship would arrive soon to help bring support to Gaza hospitals and a plane will arrive in Egypt with key supplies.
