French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné indicated that he "will present suggestions to Lebanese officials today, Sunday, aimed at calming tensions between Hezbollah and Israel and preventing the outbreak of war." After visiting UN peacekeeping forces in Naqoura, southern Lebanon, he stated: "If you look at the situation today... if there were no war in Gaza, we could be talking about the existence of a war in southern Lebanon given the number of strikes and their impact on the region." He added, "I will convey messages and propose suggestions to the authorities here to promote stability in this region and avoid the outbreak of war."
