France condemns Israel’s latest deadly strikes on Lebanon
France’s Foreign Ministry has denounced Israel’s latest deadly attacks on southern Lebanon and urged its ally to abide by the year-old ceasefire.
“We are concerned about this intensification of Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon,” said an unnamed ministry spokesperson quoted by Reuters news agency. “We condemn the Israeli strikes that are killing civilians in the south. Our position is one of respect for the ceasefire of 27 November 2024.”
The Israeli military has stepped up air strikes on southern Lebanon – killing more than a dozen people in recent days – in what it claims are strikes targeting Hezbollah and Hamas.

You're guarantor of the Lebanon ceasefire together with the US, that means you have responsibility for the ceasefire. You should condemn yourself for not acting on the daily violations.
