Paris plans a broad Lebanon conference

The article discusses France's position regarding support for Lebanon, particularly in the context of preparing for an international conference to enhance the capabilities of the Lebanese army and implement necessary economic and financial reforms. Paris affirms that support will not be conditional but emphasizes the need for Lebanon to undertake internal reforms, including passing laws to address the financial gap, in order to maintain sovereignty and strengthen stability. It also highlights the necessity of establishing an alternative international force to replace the current UNIFIL mission to ensure security in the south, noting the differing stances of the United States and Israel. The emphasis is on the need to disarm Hezbollah internally, despite recognizing the difficulty of this task under external pressures. France stresses that Lebanon is solely capable of implementing these reforms and that foreign support alone will not be sufficient without Lebanese efforts.
