Abdelatty and Barrot discussed efforts aimed at resuming and sustaining the ceasefire, as well as ensuring the delivery of humanitarian and relief aid.
In addition, Abdelatty highlighted the grave situation in the West Bank in light of ongoing military raids, arrests, and the expansion of illegal settlements.
He emphasised the necessity of reaching a just and sustainable resolution to the Palestinian issue through the implementation of the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 4 June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The call comes amid intense diplomatic efforts to resume a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza. Hamas had suggested yesterday it was ready to implement a ceasefire, but stopped short of accepting a US-backed proposal announced by President Donald Trump hours earlier, insisting on its longstanding position that any deal bring an end to the war in Gaza.
On Thursday, a new Amnesty International report said the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) resorts to a militarised mechanism that allows for the starvation of Palestinian civilians to inflict genocide against them.
At least 650 Palestinians have been killed and more than 4,500 injured since May, when GHF launched operations, near GHF aid sites or on routes to the sites guarded by Israeli forces, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
The report on GHF, a controversial US and Israel-backed group that took over aid distribution in the territory, paints a bleak picture of the daily suffering Palestinians endure to receive humanitarian aid.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Tamim Khalaf said Abdelatty and the French FM discussed the latest regional developments and ways to strengthen the strategic relations between the two friendly countries.
Khalaf added that the two ministers affirmed their commitment to enhancing all aspects of bilateral relations and elevating them to broader horizons in light of the strategic partnership that binds the two nations.
On the recent Israeli-Iranian military escalation, the two ministers agreed on the need for both Israel and Iran to commit to a ceasefire and for regional and international efforts to be unified to stabilise the de-escalation agreement and open the path for a diplomatic process that contributes to achieving regional security and stability.
