French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne has said from Beirut that a ceasefire in Gaza is “necessary” for peace in the region, including Lebanon, as talks resumed in Qatar aiming to end the conflict, AFP reports.
“We are all worried about the regional situation,” Sejourne said after meeting parliament speaker Nabih Berri, an ally of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group.
France “supports Lebanon, and in this context and in the context of regional peace, we hope for the ceasefire … in the Gaza Strip, which … will be necessary to guarantee peace in the region”, he said.
