Welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to news in the Middle East, dominated last night by the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinouar, considered the architect of the attack of October 7, 2023.
For almost a year, Hezbollah fire has regularly targeted Israeli positions near the Lebanese border. The Shiite organization, supported by Iran, claims to act in response to Israeli violations of Lebanese territory. Hezbollah expressed its support for Hamas in the context of the Israeli military operation in Gaza launched in response to the attack by the Palestinian Islamist movement against Israel on October 7, 2023.
“By activating Hezbollah against Israel despite Lebanon’s fundamental interest in staying away from war, Iran made the cynical choice to expose the Lebanese and preserve itself, it precipitated the start of Israeli operations”accused Emmanuel Macron.

The almost daily exchange of fire on the border between Israel and Lebanon has led to the displacement of tens of thousands of people on both sides. Hezbollah “has obligations, first of all that of renouncing weapons, terrorism, violence”he added.
The French president estimated that this organization, “today weakened by the death of its leader” Hassan Nasrallah, killed on September 27 in an Israeli strike, should now “allow the Lebanese to come together”.
He recalled that France would host a conference on October 24 “of support for Lebanon and its sovereignty”.
