French minister condemns Israeli blitz on Lebanon, says it undermines truce efforts French Foreign Minister strongly condemned Israeli strikes on Lebanon, describing them as intolerable. Jean-Noel Barrot said on France Inter radio the attacks undermine the temporary ceasefire reached yesterday between the United States and Iran. Yes, Iran must stop terrorising Israel through Hezbollah, which must be disarmed and hand over its weapons to the Lebanese state.
But no, Lebanon must not be the scapegoat for a disgruntled government simply because a ceasefire has been reached between the United States and Iran, he added.
