Macron says France sent messages to Hezbollah to avoid Lebanon escalation
French President Emmanuel Macron said France had been in direct contact with Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah to avoid a flare-up on Lebanon's southern border with Israel amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
"We sent messages to Hezbollah very directly through our ambassador and our services," Macron told a group of reporters, adding that despite rocket fire on the border there has been "no escalation" but "we remain very cautious."
