French President Emmanuel Macron spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and asked him not to enter into a “cycle of retaliation” in the Middle East due to the tense situation in the region, the Hellenic Palace on BFMTV reported. Details of the conversation indicate that Macron cited the need to avoid conflict and maintain stability in the region. In the event of a possible war between Israel and Lebanon, the consequences could be catastrophic for the entire region.
The situation on the border between Israel and Lebanon has become more complicated since the outbreak of hostilities in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. Every day, the Israeli army and Hezbollah shell each other's positions along the border. According to the Lebanese Foreign Ministry, about 100,000 people were forced to leave their homes in southern Lebanon due to shelling from Israel. A similar situation developed in northern Israel, where about 80,000 residents had to be evacuated.
The quote from the palace statement notes that President Macron is convinced that the “cycle of retaliation” can be dangerous for the population and stability of the region and calls on Benjamin Netanyahu to follow the same logic. It should be remembered that the continuation of the conflict between Israel and Lebanon will lead to devastating consequences for the entire Middle East.
