French President Emmanuel Macron has said that Israeli attacks on Beirut this morning were “unacceptable” and a violation of the ceasefire and that such attacks “play into the hands of Hezbollah.” “Israel’s attacks on Lebanon are unacceptable; what has taken place is unjust and unhelpful. That’s why France will continue to stand by you to ensure and maintain your sovereignty and security,” he said, speaking alongside Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.

Beirut-based journalist Ali Rizk has told Al Jazeera that while French President Emmanuel Macron criticised the Israeli attacks on Beirut, it will be interesting to see how the United States responds. “Are they going to say that Israel has the right to defend itself, as we’re accustomed to, or is there going to be a different reaction given that this [attack] undermines Washington’s allies?” he said.

Meanwhile, Israeli analyst Yossi Beilin has told Al Jazeera that “the fact that Israel reacted in Beirut for the first time since the ceasefire is very relevant and consequential.” “This is the time and place for the Americans and the French to put an end to the current situation,” he added.
