French President Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed France's support for Lebanon's sovereignty and security following a deadly Israeli drone strike that killed two Lebanese soldiers in Naqoura. Macron spoke with Lebanon's leadership to discuss security and praised efforts to restore state authority over arms, urging the adoption of a national plan to strengthen the Lebanese Armed Forces and disarm non-state actors along the southern border, particularly Hezbollah. He emphasized that any stabilization plan must include the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and an end to violations of Lebanese sovereignty. France will continue diplomatic initiatives, including sending Macron's envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian to Lebanon and convening two international conferences to support the Lebanese army and broader reconstruction efforts. France remains a key mediator and contributor to peacekeeping in Lebanon, underscoring its commitment to the country's stability and prosperity.
