French Foreign Minister in Lebanon to Broker Peace Amid Hezbollah-Israel Clashes

Stéphane Séjourné's visit aims to de-escalate the ongoing conflict and prevent a full-scale war, with discussions on proposals involving troop withdrawals and diplomatic resolutions.

French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné is in Lebanon to push for a ceasefire and prevent further escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.
Séjourné met with UN forces and Lebanese officials, discussing amendments to France's previous diplomatic proposals.
The proposals include moving Hezbollah forces away from the border and enhancing Lebanese army presence to manage tensions.
Despite the discussions, Hezbollah insists on a ceasefire in Gaza before any agreement in Lebanon, while Israel's response remains cautious.
Séjourné's visit is part of a broader diplomatic effort involving multiple Western and regional stakeholders to stabilize the region.
