8:30 AM - MACRON-HERZOG CALL ON ISRAEL-LEBANON TALKS:
The President of France spoke with President Herzog. Macron said: “I am convinced that the renewal of direct talks between Israel and Lebanon is an opportunity that must be seized. France is working to advance this goal.”
President Herzog said this evening at the site of the fall in Tel Aviv: “Today something historic happened: the Lebanese government decided to expel and deport the Iranian ambassador. In Lebanon this is a revolution, since the Iranian ambassador was de facto the high commissioner there. This is a significant statement, which also requires an understanding of the changes that may occur and that we must not miss them, while alongside the military action we must also complete diplomatic moves.”
