French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Barrot has joined a chorus of European voices urging that a US-Iran ceasefire be extended to Lebanon, where Israeli military operations have resulted in significant loss of life. According to Reuters, Barrot expressed France’s condemnation of Israel’s recent large-scale strikes in Lebanon, emphasizing that these attacks must be encompassed within the terms of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement. This development comes as Israel launched a wave of attacks in Lebanon the previous day, resulting in the deaths of at least 254 people. Notably, US Vice-President JD Vance had stated that the US did not commit to halting Israeli attacks on Lebanon, despite Pakistan’s assertion that Lebanon was included in the ceasefire.
