French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday “everything” must be done to prevent Lebanon “from once again being drawn into war”, urging both Israel and Hezbollah to halt military operations.
“I spoke today with Lebanon’s highest authorities in order to establish a plan to bring an end to the military operations currently being carried out by Hezbollah and Israel on either side of the border,” Macron said on X in English.
“Hezbollah must immediately cease its fire toward Israel,” he added. “At this moment of great danger, I call on the Israeli prime minister not to expand the war to Lebanon.”
He said the Lebanese authorities had given him “their commitment to take control of the positions held by Hezbollah and to fully assume responsibility for security across the entire national territory”.
