Macron to meet Hezbollah MPs during visit to Lebanon — report
During his visit to Lebanon following the Beirut blast on Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron will meet lawmakers representing the Hezbollah terror group, a Lebanese website reports.
The Al-Jadeed news outlet reports that Macron will meet a delegation from the Al-Wafaa “resistance bloc,” adding that the delegation will be headed by Hezbollah MP Mohammad Raad.
France recognizes Hezbollah’s military wing as a terror group, but distinguishes between it and the Shiite group’s political wing.
