US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that his early exit from the Group of Seven (G7) summit has nothing to do with the Israel-Iran conflict. 

The clarification came after French President Emmanuel Macron claimed that the US leader was considering the prospect of a ceasefire between Tehran and Jerusalem, as the deadly conflict between the two warring enemies entered the fifth day.

Trump said hefty departure had "nothing to do" with working on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, adding France's leader, Emmanuel Macron, was "wrong" in how he described the exit.

"Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to DC to work on a 'cease fire' between Israel and Iran," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

"Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!"

Earlier, speaking to reporters at the G7 summit in Canada, Macron said that he didn't believe the situation in the Middle East would change soon, but "since the US assured they will find a ceasefire and since they can pressure Israel, things may change".

Describing Trump's early exit from the G7 summit as a positive development, the French President said, "Right now I believe negotiations need to restart and that civilians need to be protected."

Macron also called on both Israel and Iran to "end" attacking civilians, saying, "All who have thought that by bombing from the outside you can save a country in spite of itself have always been mistaken."
