France still mad at trayore 😅😅😅
The Lebanese government is complicit with Israel.
They are doing nothing to stop Israel killing civilians.
It would be nice that the Lebanese army could be strengthened and funded so it can unify the country and cut ties with Iran. No peacekeepers needed and the Israelis will more than likely keep to themselves. Having Syria, Israel and previous French and US peacekeepers with Iranian interests have turned the country upside down.
Have Sunni, Shiit and Christian friends from the country who are all friends to each other, who detest what has and is happening.
France can do nothing !!! Not acceptable rogue state
