French President Emmanuel Macron announced today, Saturday, that an international conference to support Lebanon will be held this October in France.
Macron said that the 88 members of the International Organization of the Francophonie, including France, Canada and Belgium, “unanimously” demand an “immediate and permanent” ceasefire in Lebanon, which is also a member of the organization.
The French President affirmed, during a press conference at the conclusion of the organization’s nineteenth summit hosted by France, “We unanimously expressed our support for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, and affirmed our commitment to containing tensions in the region.”
Macron thanked the members of the organization “after they agreed that France would organize an international conference to support Lebanon” in October.
The Lebanese authorities estimate that more than one million people have been displaced from their homes and villages due to the escalation.
