The French foreign ministry said Friday that Paris is communicating with Washington over Lebanon and that “the November agreement must be implemented with all its stipulations.”

“We condemn all Israeli strikes in Lebanon, especially those leading to civilian casualties,” a French foreign ministry official told Al-Arabiya’s Al-Hadath channel.

“The pacification agreement with Israel stipulates that only the Lebanese Army is tasked with removing weapons in the South,” the official said.

“UNIFIL and the mechanism committee will oversee the handover of arms to the Lebanese Army,” the French official added.
