French President Emmanuel Macron held telephone calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyau, Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun, and Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, regarding the rising tensions in Lebanon.
“France will continue, with its partners, to support the efforts of the Lebanese Armed Forces, so they can fully assume their sovereignty missions and put an end to the threat posted by Hezbollah,” Macron wrote on X.
The post continued: “In the face of the humanitarian emergency in southern Lebanon, France will take immediate initiatives to support the displaced Lebanese populations.
“Our solidarity remains with the Lebanese people and our commitment to regional stability at the heart of our action.”
