Under the agreement which ended two months of open war between Israel and Hezbollah on November 27, the Israeli army should have completed its withdrawal this Sunday, January 26.

-“France will take all necessary measures, within the ceasefire supervision mechanism, in conjunction with the United States and Lebanon, so that it recovers its full sovereignty and that Israel’s security is assured,” Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday in his conversation with Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the Elysée.
The two leaders also discussed the situation in Gaza. Emmanuel Macron “indicated that France would stand alongside the Israeli authorities to accelerate the release of all the hostages, including that of our two compatriots Ofer Kalderon and Ohad Yahalomi”, indicated the Elysée. These two Palestinian Hamas hostages, who have Israeli and French nationalities, are part of the list of the first 33 captives freed by Hamas.
