In an interview by telephone this Sunday, January 26, the President of the Republic called the Israeli Prime Minister that the Hebrew State respects the cease-fire agreement concluded on November 27.
Emmanuel Macron and Benjamin Netanyahu spoke this Sunday, January 26 by phone. During this exchange, the President of the Republic asked the Israeli Prime Minister that the Hebrew State “fully implements his commitment to withdraw his forces still present in Lebanon,” said the Elysée.
“France will take all the necessary measures, within the supervision mechanism of the ceasefire, in connection with the United States and Lebanon, so that it covers its full sovereignty and that the security of Israel is assured, “added the Presidency of the Republic.
Under the agreement which ended on November 27 to two months of open war, only the Lebanese army and the UN peacekeepers can now be deployed in southern Lebanon, hence the Israeli army was supposed to have completed his withdrawal on January 26. Israel, however, announced on Friday that the withdrawal operation would continue beyond this deadline, believing that the agreement “has not been fully accomplished by Lebanon”.
-This Sunday, hundreds of inhabitants in southern Lebanon braved the Israeli army and tried to return to their villages while some are still occupied by Israeli forces. These opened fire in their direction and 15 people were killed, according to the Lebanese authorities.
