French President Emmanuel Macron has said that Israeli attacks on Beirut this morning were “unacceptable” and a violation of the ceasefire and that such attacks “play into the hands of Hezbollah.” “Israel’s attacks on Lebanon are unacceptable; what has taken place is unjust and unhelpful. That’s why France will continue to stand by you to ensure and maintain your sovereignty and security,” he said, speaking alongside Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
