France and Lebanon Discuss Israeli Withdrawal

Nawaf Salam met Macron in Paris to strengthen Lebanon's negotiating position with Israel for full Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
A 10-day ceasefire mediated by Washington is in effect, but Israeli forces remain in a 5-10 km border zone.
Lebanon requires 500 million euros to support 1.2 million displaced people, with France contributing 700 UN peacekeepers.
Ambassador-Level talks continue in Washington on Thursday, with Salam refusing to be intimidated by Hezbollah while pursuing Israeli troop withdrawal.
Macron urged Israel to renounce territorial ambitions and Hezbollah to disarm, as France maintains presence after planned UN peacekeeping mission withdrawal.
