JERUSALEM (VINnews) — French president Emanuel Macron tweeted in Hebrew on Saturday, calling on Israel and Hezbollah to “prevent Lebanon from descending into chaos.”

Macron said that he had “held talks with President Aoun, Prime Minister Salam and Speaker of Parliament Berri.” The French president demanded that Hezbollah “stop the deterioration” and Israel “refrain from a large-scale attack and stop the massive attacks, while hundreds of thousands of people have already fled the bombings.”
קיימתי אתמול שיחות עם הנשיא עאון, עם ראש הממשלה סלאם ועם יושב ראש הפרלמנט ברי.
יש לנקוט כל צעד אפשרי כדי למנוע מלבנון לשקוע בכאוס.
על חיזבאללה להפסיק לאלתר את ההידרדרות המסוכנת שאליה הוא מוביל.
על ישראל לוותר על מתקפה רחבת היקף ולהפסיק את התקיפות המסיביות, בשעה שכבר מאות אלפי…

He stressed that “The Lebanese government has expressed its willingness to hold direct talks with Israel. All components of the state must be represented in these talks. Israel must accept this opportunity, open discussions and bring about a ceasefire, find a sustainable solution and allow the Lebanese authorities to fulfill their obligations for the sovereignty of Lebanon.”
Macron added that “France is ready to help hold these talks and host them in Paris.”
Most of the responses pondered why Macron felt the need to tweet in Hebrew and why he felt that his mediation could succeed when Lebanon had failed in the past to curb Hezbollah’s terrorist activities against Israel.
One responder summed up the issue succintly, stating that “President Macron is once again proving that he either doesn’t understand the Middle East or is simply refusing to see reality. To ask Israel to stop strikes against a terrorist organisation that has fired on us and harmed our civilians is like asking a fireman to stop spraying water while the house is burning.
“Instead of looking for a job as a mediator in Paris, the French President would do well to look at reality with his own eyes. Lebanon has become Iran’s missile base, and as long as Hezbollah is not disarmed, no discussion or summit conference will change the fact that this threat must be eliminated.
“Israel isn’t seeking approval from Paris to defend its sovereignty and the security of its citizens. It’s high time Europe stopped trying to impose arrangements that only buy temporary quiet and prepare the ground for the next, deadlier round.”
Another responder, Pro-Israel Dutch politician Geert Wilders, responded with one Hebrew word: Pachdan (coward).

Nice gesture with “prevent Lebanon from descending into chaos”, but the Frenchies are about 5 decades too late.
If this POS cares so much about Lebanon, where has he been till now and why doesn’t he tell Lebanon to get rid of hezbollah and there will be quiet.
Sniveling weasel!
But..
What else would you expect from a fellow who on November 7, 2018 praised World War II president of France and Hitler supporting savage , Marshall, Phelippe Petain.
I hope this dog meets the ignominious demise he deserves
When will France surrender?
I can understand why he would write to Israel in Hebrew, but does he expect Hezbollah to read Hebrew too?
Vichy Spawn Pond Scum, does all he could to undermine Israel and promote the pali terror regime.
Israel should respond in French and tell him to escape chaos from his wife.
It sounded to me like: ribit ribit. Useless croacking.
Emmanuel, merci pour vos conseils, même si vous ne les avez pas sollicités. Vous aviez raison, au moins en partie. Le Hezbollah doit cesser immédiatement et définitivement ses attaques meurtrières de missiles et de roquettes contre Israël. S’il le fait, Israël n’aura plus besoin d’intervenir ; il ne fait que protéger ses citoyens. Dès que le Hezbollah annoncera qu’il a renoncé à ses intentions meurtrières, Israël n’aura plus besoin d’agir pour mettre fin aux attaques meurtrières contre sa population. Si la France et ses citoyens étaient la cible d’attaques de missiles lancées par un pays voisin, les Français resteraient-ils les bras croisés sans rien faire pour se protéger ?
Who cares about Lebanon they don’t contribute anything to the world besides Terror groups
Who’s the dolt appealing to?
Emanuel Macaroon is excited as this is the season he waits for all year.
how do you say “just disarm hezbollah” in french?
