Kyiv • UNN
In a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, French President Macron called for avoiding escalation in the Middle East. Macron emphasized the devastating consequences of a possible war between Israel and Lebanon for the region.
During a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, French President Emmanuel Macron urged him to avoid a "cycle of retaliation" in the Middle East amid tensions in the region, the Elysee Palace reported on the air of BFMTV, UNN reports .
Details
"Just as (Macron) called on the Iranian president (Massoud Peseshkian) to avoid a cycle of retaliation that could endanger the population and the stability of the region, he called on the Israeli prime minister to follow the same logic that should apply to all parties in the region," BFMTV quoted the palace as saying.
The document also emphasizes that a possible war between Israel and Lebanon would have "devastating consequences" for the entire region, the TV channel adds.
Context
The situation on the Israeli-Lebanese border has deteriorated since the start of Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. The Israeli army and Hezbollah are shelling each other's positions in areas along the border on a daily basis.
According to the Lebanese Foreign Ministry, about 100,000 people were forced to leave their homes in southern Lebanon because of Israeli shelling. The Israeli side reported that about 80 thousand residents of northern Israel were in a similar situation.
