French President Emmanuel Macron will meet on Tuesday with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in Paris, the Elysee says, as a fragile 10-day truce holds between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah.
The visit highlights Macron’s commitment to seeing “full and complete respect for the ceasefire in Lebanon” as well as France’s support for Lebanon’s “territorial integrity,” the president’s office says.
The announcement of the visit comes a day after France blamed Hezbollah for the death of a French peacekeeper in Lebanon.
