The French-US proposal for a ceasefire to end fighting in Lebanon remains on the table, with parties continuing to work on it, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said, APA reports citing Times of Israel.
He noted that Israel’s security cannot be guaranteed with military force alone and will require a diplomatic solution.
“Military success cannot be a substitute for a political perspective,” Barrot told reporters during a visit to Israel.
“To bring the hostages home to their loved ones, to allow the displaced to return home in the north, after a year of war, the time for diplomacy has come.”
