Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench President Emmanuel Macron says he is dispatching his foreign minister to Lebanon as part of efforts to stop war from breaking out, calling on Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group to immediately stop hostilities.
“There cannot be, must not be war in Lebanon,” he says in a speech at the UN General Assembly in New York.
“We urge Israel to cease this escalation in Lebanon, and to Hezbollah to cease these missile launches to Israel. We urge all of those who provide [Hezbollah] with the means to do so to stop doing so,” he adds.
Macron also demands a ceasefire “as soon as possible” in Gaza, saying the Israel-Hamas war has lasted too long, adding that “there is no explanation possible” for the thousands of alleged civilian deaths.
