European leaders have vowed to do more to de-escalate conflicts in the Middle East, as they prepared for discussions with regional counterparts from Egypt, Lebanon and Syria in Cyprus, AFP reports.

“Europe must do even more,” French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters in Nicosia before heading into talks with fellow European Union leaders.

They will later have a working lunch with leaders from Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan as well as the secretary general of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

This lunch will be “an opportunity, with Syria, Jordan, among others, to coordinate. They are affected by the situation in the region,” Macron said.
