French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the importance for both Israel and Iran to uphold their recent ceasefire agreement, in a phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday. “We share the same objective: that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons.

President Donald Trump on Monday announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire, after more than a week of fighting following Israel's strikes -- and subsequent U.S. attacks -- on Iran's nuclear program.

The Israeli military said seven soldiers were killed in a single attack in southern Gaza on Tuesday, the military's deadliest day in the territory since it broke a ceasefire with Hamas in March.
