French FM visits Lebanon in bid to stop escalation of Israel-Hezbollah conflict

Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne is visiting Lebanon today to push proposals to prevent further escalation and a potential war between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
“The objective is to prevent a regional conflagration and avoid that the situation deteriorates even more on the border between Israel and Lebanon,” Foreign Ministry deputy spokesperson Christophe Lemoine said at a news conference.
France has historical ties with Lebanon, and earlier this year, Sejourne delivered an initiative proposing Hezbollah’s elite unit pull back 10km (6 miles) from the Israeli border and Israel to halt strikes in southern Lebanon.
France has 700 soldiers based in southern Lebanon as part of the 10,000-strong United Nations peacekeeping force.
“If I look at the situation today, if there was not a war in Gaza, we could be talking about a war in southern Lebanon given the number of strikes and the impact on the area,” French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne said after visiting the UN peacekeeping force in Naqoura, southern Lebanon.
“I will pass messages and make proposals to the authorities here to stabilise this zone and avoid a war.”

Why is the French PM not visiting Israel in a bid to stop the gen 0 side in Gaza, and all the other conflicts due to this gen 0 side hungry state.

[@jbo8540]

If he left the country they'd probably never let him back in, and also he doesn't care about some a rabs.

[@fatalhussain1471]

Exactly these are racist cowards

[@jul-aminsajili1871]

You French FM,you must go to netanyahu to stop his IDF operation on Gaza.

[@JacintaPalerm]

Stop genocide. Unconditional ceasefire. Free Palestine

[@joewhoa1759]

No

[@stephen23122]

yt just blocked another comment... I just mentioned that we must not be silent while these things are happening

[@slickperspective2745]

You are either blocked and shadow banned. That happened to me numerous of times.

[@SkSafowan]

Google is also complicit in this genocide, they're silencing people's voices so Israel can continue with its genocide

[@xPayana]

Same to me made a very important point about the whole scheme my comments got removed lol

[@mitchellhahn2758]

Tell him to tell Nethanyahu to stop the Genocide.

[@philsurgenor6386]

yt why block comments?

[@logiczchance101]

they are scared. they were pushed out of africa and now they are risking being pushed out of their last remaining bastion in the region.

[@msmaduqu]

Stop genocide in Gaza..

[@jbo8540]

So clueless gubmints are not just an american thing. France really is the least self aware country in the world.

Boycott Paris Olympics

[@paulwielgosz6046]

Interesting how Israel attacks it neighbours constantly and Israeli’s allies/supporters/backers run around and urge restraint to the attacked. You reap what you sow - as this verse directly pertains to this supposed state.

[@jiffryjaufer7097]

😂😂😂 they are so much worry and wanted protect the Zionists. Why doesn't he go to Israel to defuse the tension for palastinian?

[@k.z.9250]

Stay safe God bless you.

[@sohrabamiri7917]

This little boy have no idea about the politic And don't want to learn

[@MoussBen-cl4ey]

The french FM has rather to go first to israel to force them to stop their genocidal aggression on Gaza . That is there from where all regional problems will get solved ......

[@patriot4757]

lol…you funny

[@jamamohamoud2665]

Western are worring this war spreed and facing many fronline war.....B/C couldn't be handle such war.

[@masabaamidu]

France can't do anything for either party in the conflict but propose a ten kilometer back match by one party in return non violetion of it's airspace by another. Napoleon's son previously chased from Africa doesn't know the cause of the conflict.

[@philsurgenor6386]

what are you trying to hide YT?!

[@jbo8540]

The truth mostly

[@customcreations8037]

How about visit Isreal and tell them to stop their bs🙄🤦

[@AbdulKader-mb9dl]

World people have any faith on the talks of French president. He tells this and happens that.

[@tonkhio]

100 % agree with you.

[@jbo8540]

Only france and their lackeys in former colonial governments think france is still important

[@mffa9238]

Truth hurts for Yt. Why allow the videos if comments are banned?

[@babycannis9667]

KZbin is a scam . It’s American owned company so that’s what they do best . Allow propaganda and disinformation.

[@andykyriakides2144]

The French want to mediate peace in the middle east , but want to send their troops to fight and escalate the war in Ukraine ? This is hypocricy on steroids .

[@JohnGaltAustralia]

Clearly an intelligence op

[@whocares-tx7nl]

Is there UNRWA in Lebanon?

[@carlorenaldy162]

Where are arab leaders and kings doing right now??? Sleeping in their castle... Wake them up peoples!!

[@ForU-Comments]

😂😂... if 🇺🇸 can't stop Israel from killing civilians why do the France think they can 😅... come let's be clear this is a joke

[@jbo8540]

Did the hizbis even bother to go to this meeting? If they did, they got a good laugh out of it. France prancing in and suggesting they give up 10km along the entire border 😂

[@xPayana]

Hzbo doesn't take them seriously, they're on another plan.

[@Abdu-ud5of]

In sha ALLAH, may Allah bring judgement day for Israel and UN Genocides... Netanyahu and Mr Bidan are sick killing innocent kids in Gaza .

[@Dilawar09]

Arest Netanyahu and his team

[@abubakryasin5082]

FM visit xxxxx ....

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

If the US and its allies really care about deescalation they would strongly push for a resolution to the Palestine issue. Which is the issue of their freedom and rights for dignified self determination. The west act like procrastinators who know what their real problem is, but is too weak to address it head-on. So they just keep on doing things that don't really solve the problem.

[@ihteshamkhan456]

He is not normal leader how he became PM

[@laikakhan1313]

what? is this guy looking for a Lebanese lover?

[@gibranhader1702]

😂 why send the french. They need help but don't want admit it

[@kam70111]

Yt and bots, all have their quirks.

[@thusspokezarathustra]

The only time Isreal will decide to halt the war is once Hamas has either been eradicated or has surrendered including freeing hostages held dead or alive. Secondly the war will continue further until Hezbollah withdraws to the UN agreed security line which is over 20 km away from the Israeli border. Even with all these conditions met, there is still Iran to deal with as it is the cause of all the violence and has been stoking violence since the founding of the state of Israel. Israel has some hard decisions to make - as without dealing with Iran it will never have lasting peace. Peace will only be realised once Israel's allies stand up against Irans tyranny once and for all.

I’m an Israeli woman married to a Lebanese woman. I wish people can share a balanced and equal relationship like we do. We don’t fight fiercely every day, we kiss fiercely every night. 🫂🤼‍♀️

[@MP4...................512]

Great you are enjoying a relationship like normal humans do. Apartheid in its very nature doesn't allow "others" to have the same status.

When you have no leverage there will be no concessions. You get nothing. No rewards. Israel has spoken.
