Israeli counter-strikes in Lebanon ‘unjustified,’ France’s Macron claims
French President Emmanuel Macron says that there was no activity justifying Israel’s strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon and that he would call US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the attacks.
“The framework agreed upon by Lebanon and Israel was not respected today by Israel unilaterally and without us having either information or proof of the triggering event,” Macron says.
The IDF strike came in response to rocket fire at Israel early Friday morning
Macron held a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Paris to discuss economic reforms and efforts to stabilize Lebanon as a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is shaken by new attacks in the country.
