France lauds Lebanon’s ‘self-restraint’; Lebanese PM: ‘Can only be patient and praying’

France’s Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne says he hopes for continued non-escalation from Lebanon after Israel killed a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut last month.

In a meeting with Lebanese caretaker premier Najib Mikati, Sejourne expresses appreciation for “self-restraint in this difficult period” in the region, according to Lebanese state news agency NNA.

“We can only be silent, patient and praying in this difficult period,” NNA also cites Mikati as saying following the meeting.
