French President Emmanuel Macron paid respect to Prime Minister Saad Hariri's decision to revoke his resignation announced in November from Saudi Arabia, the National News Agency reported on Wednesday.

The meeting of the International Support Group for Lebanon that will be held in Paris Friday is “an international rally in support of the Lebanese legitimacy embodied in the president, the premier and the parliament,” the Change and Reform bloc said on Tuesday.

MP Sethrida Geagea of the Lebanese Forces bloc on Tuesday described the new settlement that was reached among the government's components as “very positive,” noting that Hizbullah is “serious” in committing to it.
