French President Emmanuel Macron, while expressing his concerns about the durability of the ceasefire, spoke about Lebanon’s territorial integrity, the safety of civilians, and the disarmament of Hezbollah.

Expressing his full support for the ceasefire process, Macron said, "As President Trump announced yesterday, I fully support the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel. However, I also express concern that the ceasefire may already have been undermined by the continuation of military operations."

Emphasizing that the protection of civilians is a priority, Macron stated, "I call for the safety of civilians on both sides of the border between Lebanon and Israel to be ensured."

Listing the steps that the parties need to take for lasting peace, Macron said, "Hezbollah must lay down its arms. Israel must respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and end the war."
