Macron defends upcoming meeting with Hezbollah representatives for gov’t talks
Representatives of the powerful Hezbollah movement, designated by the US as a terrorist group, will be among those meeting French President Emmanuel Macron for government talks in Lebanon.
The French president has justified his openness to “talk with everyone,” including Hezbollah, by saying the Iran-backed group sworn to Israel’s destruction is “a political force that is represented in parliament” in Lebanon.
