Oct 24, 2023
Tel Aviv (Israel), October 24 (ANI): French President Emmanuel Macron, in a joint press conference with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Tel Aviv, expressed his solidarity with Israel against the terrorist attacks by Hamas. While expressing his solidarity with Israel, Macron asked Herzog for the release of hostages on a priority basis. Herzog warned Lebanon and Hezbollah to not drag Israel into war as the current focus is to destroy Hamas and mentioned that Israel was “focused on destroying Hamas infrastructure and bringing our citizens back home. But if Hezbollah will drag us into war, it should be clear that Lebanon will pay the price”. Since Hamas’ “surprise” attack on Oct 07, Israel and Hezbollah have been trading fire at the frontier. It is the worst escalation along the Israeli-Lebanese border since the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel.
