French President Macron Reaffirms Support for Lebanese Ceasefire and Sovereignty
French President Emmanuel Macron is set to meet with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in Paris to reaffirm France's commitment to the ceasefire in Lebanon and support for its territorial integrity. The meeting follows an attack on the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, which resulted in the death of a French peacekeeper. Macron has called for a thorough investigation into the incident, which has been blamed on Hezbollah, though the group denies involvement. The discussions will also cover humanitarian aid and economic reforms necessary for Lebanon's reconstruction and sovereignty.
