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.

The Israeli prime minister said in a statement that his country had "removed itself from an immediate existential double threat."

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.
