The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he should show "responsibility and rationality", said French President Emmanuel Macron today, appreciating that the attacks on Hezbollah in southern Lebanon "are, in the long term, contrary to Israel's interests".
"Hezbollah is a danger to Israel, this is absolutely true," but the security of the Jewish state "can't be guaranteed by the conquest of neighbouring territories," said the President of France in France 2, adding that Netanyahu's policy in both Lebanon and Gaza and the West Bank "feeds resentment and violence among the population of the region".
The French president announced that he would seek again to mobilize the international community to "help the Lebanese army regain control of its territory".
