That's true.

Hezbullah's Secretary General Sayed Nasrallah said last time:"We view the French visit in a positive manner."

Macron in a meeting with representatives of the UN and NGOs: We are looking for officials who can say that Lebanon is based only on youth and that the Lebanese authorities are required to have a transparent process of tracking aid and France will continue to secure support.
Macron: It is necessary to understand what the basic needs are in Lebanese schools, and we are communicating with the Lebanese Ministry of Education for this.
Macron: We have to improve in the next six weeks the transparency index in Lebanon, and thanks to the efforts of the United Nations, we are seeking more support from the international community for Lebanon.
Macron said he is ready to organize a new international conference in support of Lebanon next month.

He also adds that the 3 new months will be crucial.
Siniora to Al-Hadath: "The big challenge facing Macron is to push towards reaching an understanding and forming a government without politicians."

"We want Macron to pressure Iran and Hezbollah to stop their actions that isolated Lebanon from its surroundings."

Note: Siniora is accused of mismanaging 11 billion dollars and all the aid that came from the Gulf and West after the 2006 war that is still unpaid to those who got affected. https://t.co/0Uoc6PHwjL
Macron: There is a partnership today between Hezbollah and several other parties in Lebanon, and Hezbollah is a party elected by the Lebanese people.
