France has kicked off the Lebanon aid conference with a 100 million euro pledge, signaling a strong commitment to supporting the war-torn country. The conference comes at a crucial time, with tensions escalating in the region.
“We are in the middle of a region in war. It’s not only a war between Israel and the Lebanese faction Hezbollah, this is a war between Israel and Iran and Lebanon and South Lebanon,” said Sami Nader, founder of the Levant Institute of Strategic Affairs, in an interview with France 24.
The pledge from France is a significant contribution towards assisting Lebanon in overcoming the challenges it faces. The country has been struggling with political instability, economic crisis, and the devastating aftermath of the Beirut port explosion in August 2020.
With the ongoing conflict in the region adding to the already dire situation in Lebanon, international support is crucial in helping the country rebuild and recover. France’s pledge sets a positive tone for the aid conference and highlights the importance of solidarity in times of crisis.
As the conference progresses, hopeful signs of progress and cooperation are emerging. The commitment from France sends a strong message of support to Lebanon and reinforces the need for collaborative efforts to address the challenges facing the country.
