The French, Egyptian and Jordanian foreign ministers called Saturday for an "immediate and permanent ceasefire" in Gaza and the release of all hostages held by Palestinian fighters.
Speaking at a joint press conference in Cairo, France's top diplomat Stephane Sejourne said his government would put forward a draft resolution at the UN Security Council setting out a "political" settlement of the war.
He said the text would include "all the criteria for a two-state solution" of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the peace blueprint long championed by the international community but opposed by the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
On Monday, the Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an "immediate ceasefire" in Hamas-run Gaza, where the health ministry says the death toll has reached 32,705, most of them women and children.

The three ministers renewed their governments' support for the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA, which has faced a funding crisis since Israel alleged that a dozen of its 13,000 Gaza staff were implicated in the October 7 attack.
"Israel is not only starving Palestinians, but wants to kill the only entity capable of standing in the way of a famine," Safadi said.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said Gaza "can endure no more destruction and humanitarian suffering", and called on Israel to open its land crossings with the Gaza Strip to humanitarian aid.
Nearly all aid into the territory has trickled through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, where world leaders and the United Nations have accused
