French President Emmanuel Macron welcomes the ceasefire between the US and Iran, calling the agreement a “very good thing.”
“We expect, in the coming days and weeks, that it will be fully respected throughout the region and will allow negotiations to take place,” Macron says at the start of a meeting of top defence and security officials.
“Our wish is to ensure that the ceasefire fully includes Lebanon,” he adds.
