Macron to hold Gaza summit with Egyptian, Jordanian leaders
PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday said he would hold a trilateral summit on the situation in Gaza with Egypt President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Jordan's King Abdullah II. Israel has pushed to seize territory in Gaza since the collapse of a short-lived truce in its war with Hamas, in what it has called a strategy to force the militants to free hostages still in captivity. Simultaneously, Israel has escalated attacks on Lebanon and Syria. 'In response to the Gaza emergency and during my visit to Egypt at President El-Sisi's invitation, we will hold a trilateral summit with the Egyptian president and the King of Jordan,' Macron wrote on X ahead of his trip. The French president is expected in Cairo on Sunday evening, where he will hold talks with his Egyptian counterpart on Monday morning. The trilateral summit will be held the same day in the Egyptian capital, according to Macron's office. On Tuesday, Macron will also visit the Egyptian port of El-Arish, 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of the Gaza Strip, to meet humanitarian and security workers and demonstrate his 'constant mobilization in favor of a ceasefire.' El-Arish is a transit point for international aid intended for Gaza.

PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain beat Angers 1-0 and won a record-extending 13th Ligue 1 title without losing a game and with six matches to spare on Saturday. PSG needed only a draw but forward Désiré Doué got the only goal at a festive Parc des Princes bathed in sunshine to make it 23 wins in 28 games so far. It was PSG's 11th French championship since Qatari backers QSI took over the club in 2011, with the other two coming in 1986 and '94. PSG can also secure a second straight domestic double under Spanish coach Luis Enrique by beating Reims in the French Cup final on May 24. Later Saturday, second-placed Monaco visits Brest and Lyon hosts Lille with both sides involved in a tight race to qualify for next season's Champions League. ___
