France: Disarming Hezbollah Unrealistic While Lebanon Is Under Bombing
It would be unreasonable ​to expect Lebanon’s government to disarm Iran-backed Hezbollah while the country is being ‌bombed ‌by ​Israel, ‌France’s ⁠special envoy ​for Lebanon ⁠Jean-Yves Le Drian said, adding that only a negotiation would resolve ⁠the crisis.

He also confirmed that "Israel ‌occupied Lebanon ‌for ​a ‌very long ‌time and failed to eradicate Hezbollah’s military capacity. ‌Therefore, they cannot now ask the Lebanese ⁠government ⁠to do that job in three days under bombardment."
