According to Reuters, CBC Television (CBC) and other media reports, French President Maqueron talked about the situation between Israel and the Hezbollah in an interview with the media on the 26th, he called on the US to put pressure on the Israeli prime minister to accept a 21-day Benjamin Netanyahu.
CBC said that Maqueron held a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Trudo during his visit to Canada on the 26th. He gave an interview with CBC and other Canadian media before the meeting. Reported that Maqueron said in the interview, although the French side is working with Canada and other countries to prevent Israeli ground operations in Lebanon, but only the Benjamin Netanyahu and the United States can prevent this from happening.
The CBC Television (CBC)26, said that this is Maqueron accept CBC and other media interview screen.
Reported that Maqueron also said that the Israeli “Invasion” of Lebanon “Will be a huge mistake, will bring a huge risk of escalation of the situation.”.
CBC mentioned that 25 local time, the United States, France and other countries and organizations issued a joint statement calling for a ceasefire in the Lebanese-israeli border for 21 days. The report said Maqueron said in an interview that “Hezbollah… has said that they are ready for a cease-fire and now everyone is waiting [ for the measures to be taken by the Israeli Prime Minister ]”. The Benjamin Netanyahu said Hezbollah was “Ready for a cease-fire”.
“I do think that we still have time to get the [ Israeli ] Prime Minister to commit and bring the opportunity for peace in those 21 days. And I do think the US must now put more pressure on the Israeli Prime Minister for that,” he said.
“The news of the ceasefire is not true. The Prime Minister ordered the army to continue fighting at full strength,” said a statement issued by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office on the 26th. That dashed hopes for a quick cease-fire between the Israelis and the Hezbollah. Earlier, Maqueron and US President Biden issued a joint statement on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly calling for a 21-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, and some US allies joined the call. Prior to that, Israel Defense Forces Chief of General Staff Al-harawi told the country’s army 25, the recent intensive air strikes on Lebanon “Aimed at preparing you may enter, continue to fight against Hezbollah.”. Behind this dizzying series of developments, the Benjamin Netanyahu left for New York on the 26th to attend the UN General Assembly, where he will deliver a speech on the 27th. An Al Jazeera analysis suggests that an Israeli ground invasion of the Benjamin Netanyahu is unlikely while it is at the UN. But there is no doubt that the risk of all-out war in the Middle East seems to be increasing.
