“France is ready to facilitate these talks by hosting them in Paris,” Mr. Macron said, adding he had spoken to the President and Prime Minister of Lebanon, a former French protectorate.
“Everything must be done to prevent Lebanon from descending into chaos,” Mr. Macron added.
“Hezbollah must immediately halt its reckless course. Israel must abandon plans for a large-scale offensive and cease its massive air strikes.”
Lebanon was drawn into the West Asia war last week when Iran-backed Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in U.S.-Israeli strikes.
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said on Friday (March 13, 2026) his group was ready for a long confrontation with Israel.
