In a phone call on July 2, French President Emmanuel Macron urged Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu to prevent the risk of a “major conflict” between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon.
According to the Elysee Palace, during the phone call, President Emmanuel Macron once again expressed deep concern about the increasing tension between Hezbollah and Israel, as well as highlighted the need to prevent the risk of a major conflict that would harm the interests of both Lebanon and Israel.
The French president stressed the urgent need for all sides to reach a diplomatic solution to end the current conflict. Emmanuel Macron also called on Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from any “new operations” in Gaza near Rafah or Khan Yunis, saying Israeli military action would only increase the death toll and worsen the already dire humanitarian situation there.
The call came as the Israeli army on July 1 ordered the evacuation of most areas east of Khan Yunis and Rafah along the Egyptian border, a move that signaled that Israel could soon launch a major offensive. Israel's evacuation order triggered a mass exodus of Palestinians from southern Gaza on July 2.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Hezbollah deputy leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said the only sure path to a ceasefire on the Lebanon-Israel border is a complete ceasefire in Gaza. He affirmed that if there is a ceasefire in Gaza, Hezbollah will stop its attacks without any discussion.
However, he said if Israel were to scale back its military operations without a formal ceasefire and a complete withdrawal from Gaza, the implications for the Lebanon-Israel border conflict would be less clear.
Tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border have escalated since the conflict between Hamas and Israel erupted on October 7. However, the situation has become even more tense after a Hezbollah leader was killed in Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets on the Lebanese border. In recent days, the two sides have exchanged attacks more frequently, raising international concerns about the risk of a wider conflict in the region. According to Lebanese health and security reports, 357 members of the armed group have been killed since the start of the confrontation with Israeli forces on the border.
