France condemns Hezbollah's attack on a military base in Binyamina, which killed four people and wounded several dozen others. France recalls its unshakeable commitment to Israel's security. Hezbollah's attacks against Israeli territory must stop.
France reiterates the need for a cessation of hostilities and the full and complete implementation of Resolution 1701, which must allow a return to calm along the Blue Line. Only diplomatic channels can guarantee the stability, sovereignty and security of everyone in Israel, Lebanon and across the region.
This is the thrust of the messages we are conveying to our regional interlocutors at every level and one of the goals of the International Conference in Support of Lebanon's People and Sovereignty, which will be held in Paris on 24 October.
