France announces entry restrictions on Lebanese implicated in political crisis

PARIS — France has begun imposing entry restrictions on certain Lebanese figures as a sanction for their role in Lebanon’s political crisis or corruption, Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian says.

“We reserve the right to adopt additional measures against all those preventing an exit from the crisis, and we will do so in coordination with our international partners,” adds Le Drian, without naming which figures the measure was targeted against.
