President Reuven Rivlin France's President Macron to act against Hezbollah and warned that Lebanon would suffer severe repercussions should war break out between the two.

"If we have a threat from Lebanon, we will not stand idly by. Lebanon bears and bears the sovereign responsibility for every Hizbullah action," Rivlin told Macron. "France is an influential power in our region and its understanding that Hezbollah is part of the overall Lebanese system is essential. The Lebanese president will not be able to wash his hands if Iranian missiles are fired at Israel."
