French President Emmanuel Macron condemns “in the strongest possible terms” Iran’s attacks against Israel, adding that France has “mobilized” its military resources in the Middle East to counter Tehran.
Macron also demanded that Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah “cease its terrorist actions against Israel and its population”, and asked Israel to “put an end to their military operations as soon as possible”, the Elysee Palace says in a statement, adding France would “shortly be organizing a conference in support of the Lebanese people and its institutions.”
