W460

French President's advisor Anne-Claire Legendre met Friday with Hezbollah's head of Arab and International Relations Ammar al-Moussawi, al-Manar TV said.

Legendre and al-Moussawi discussed Israel's violations of a ceasefire agreement reached in November last year, with al-Moussawi urging France to pressure Israel to halt its attacks.

France is part of a five-nation ceasefire monitoring committee chaired by the U.S. and including Lebanon, Israel, and UNIFIL.

Al-Moussawi also told Legendre that Hezbollah is committed to holding the parliamentary elections on time, amid a debate between Hezbollah and its opponents over the electoral law.

Legendre had met in Lebanon with President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Speaker Nabih Berri, LF leader Samir Geagea and Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji.
