Saar tells French counterpart – Israel not violating Lebanon cease-fire

Foreign Minister Gideon Saar on Monday, told his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot that Israel was not violating the cease-fire agreement in Lebanon but enforcing it amid Hezbollah’s violations, that require a real-time response. France claimed Israel had failed to report Hezbollah’s violations to the international commission and had used lethal force resulting in the death of civilians. “Hezbollah’s presence south of the Litani is a fundamental violation of the agreement. They must move north,” Saar said.
