France demands Hezbollah disarm, hand over weapons

The French Foreign Minister has publicly called for Hezbollah to disarm and hand over its weapons to the Lebanese state. The statement represents a significant diplomatic intervention by a major European power into the ongoing crisis in Lebanon. It aligns with long-standing international demands for Hezbollah to integrate as a purely political entity under state authority. The call comes amid heightened tensions and military exchanges between Hezbollah and Israel across the Lebanese-Israeli border.
