In Lebanon, top French diplomat again urges Israel not to launch ground offensive

French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noel Barrot again urges Israel not to undertake any ground invasion of Lebanon, adding France will step up its support for the Lebanese army.

“I… urge Israel to refrain from any ground incursion and to cease fire. I call on Hezbollah to do the same and to refrain from any action likely to lead to regional destabilization,” Barrot tells reporters while visiting Lebanon.
