French President Emmanuel Macron revealed on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump had extended an offer to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Speaking at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, Macron confirmed that the proposal was aimed at easing rising tensions and initiating broader diplomatic talks in the Middle East.
“There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange. An offer was made especially to get a ceasefire and to then kick-start broader discussions,” Macron told reporters, adding that it remains to be seen whether both sides will agree to the initiative.
Trump’s unexpected diplomatic move came amid one of the most volatile periods between Israel and Iran in recent decades, following a series of escalations including military strikes and retaliatory attacks. The U.S. president’s offer suggests a shift toward diplomacy after previously voicing strong support for Israel and a hardline stance on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The G7 summit, already fraught with divisions over global conflicts, saw Trump depart early to address what he called an “urgent” Middle East situation. His offer reportedly includes conditions for direct dialogue between the two nations, potentially mediated by a neutral party.
The prospect of a U.S.-facilitated ceasefire is drawing cautious optimism from European leaders, although skepticism remains over whether Tehran and Jerusalem will participate. Macron’s comments underscore France’s support for renewed diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the crisis and stabilize the region.
As the conflict intensifies and international pressure mounts, attention is now focused on the response from both Israel and Iran to Trump’s proposal, which could mark a turning point in efforts to prevent a broader regional war.
