"We call for broad endorsement and for the immediate support of the Governments of Israel and Lebanon," the statement said.
"The exchange of fire since October 7th, and in particular over the past two weeks, threatens a much broader conflict, and harm to civilians," it continued.
"It is time for a settlement on the Israel-Lebanon border that ensures safety and security to enable civilians to return to their homes," the statement from Biden and Macron said.
"We therefore have worked together in recent days on a joint call for a temporary ceasefire to give diplomacy a chance to succeed and avoid further escalations across the border."
