France to host conference to ‘mobilise international community’ to help Lebanon.
The objective will mobilise the international community to respond to the protection and emergency relief needs of the Lebanese population and to identify ways of supporting Lebanon’s institutions, in particular the Lebanese Armed Forces,” the ministry said, Paris has historical ties with Lebanon and has been working with the United States in trying to secure a ceasefire in the Middle Eastern country. Those talks stalled at the end of September when Israel heavily bombed Beirut’s southern suburbs, killing long-time Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. It has since launched a ground offensive displacing thousands of people.
