French President Emmanuel Macron has called for an end to arms exports used in Gaza and Lebanon.
He said it was the only way to end the two conflicts, but it was not a call to disarm Israel.
"We have reiterated the need for a ceasefire and this ceasefire is essential in both Gaza and Lebanon. It is now necessary for both our hostages and the civilian population who are victims of the violence and to avoid regional contamination. That is why France has called for an end to the export of weapons used in these theaters of war... we all know that this is the only way to end it ," he said.
France is not a major arms supplier to Israel, transporting £25.1 million worth of military equipment last year, according to the defense ministry.
Macron said last week that France is "not handing over any [weapons]" to Israel. The UK also said last month it would suspend some arms exports to Israel, citing a "clear risk" they could be used in a serious breach of international law.
