French President Emmanuel Macron during a joint press conference with President Salam:
The truce between Lebanon and Israel must be extended to allow negotiations to begin.
Israel must withdraw from southern Lebanon, and the party’s weapons must be dismantled within a Lebanese framework.
France will continue to stand by Lebanon, and we will support the displaced.
France will commit to rebuilding the areas in Lebanon destroyed by the airstrikes.
We are ready, together with other parties, to provide support and reschedule the conference in support of the Lebanese army and security forces.
