“France, once again, calls upon the parties and their supporters to prioritize de-escalation and prevent a regional crisis that could result in significant harm to all involved,” the Minister stated.
In response to the escalating situation in Lebanon, the French Foreign Minister confirmed that an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council has been requested for the upcoming week.
