French President Emmanuel Macron will host Jordan's King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein in Paris on Friday to talk about helping resolve the conflict in Gaza.

Following up on their meeting in Jordan in December, the two heads of state will discuss the urgent need for a ceasefire there.

They will also discuss ways to achieve durable peace in the Middle East.

President Macron is also expected to welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday, for bilateral discussions. 

It's ahead of a trip to Germany, where Ukraine's President is planning to attend and speak at the Munich Security Conference on 17 February.
