France asks UN Security Council to hold emergency meeting on Lebanon fighting

France requests an emergency UN Security Council meeting to discuss Lebanon after Israel announced an offensive military operation against Hezbollah following nearly a year of clashes with the Iran-backed terror group.

“I have requested that an emergency meeting of the Security Council be held on Lebanon this week,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot tells the United Nations General Assembly, calling on all sides to “avoid a regional conflagration that would be devastating for everyone,” especially civilians.
