Russia Today: Macron and the Saudi Crown Prince agree on the need to solve the Lebanese crisis through Saad Al Hariri.

French President Emmanuel Macron at press conference: France stood by Lebanon since the early hours of the Beirut explosion, but the responsibilities became clear and all the forces pledged to form an important government within 15 days.

Regarding what happened, the political forces did not want to respect the commitment they made with France and the international community and decided to betray it.

French president Emmanuel Macron: "Hezbollah doesn't respect the Lebanese"

Macron: Hezbollah must end its military role in Syria.

Macron: Hezbollah cannot be an army fighting Israel, a militia alongside Syria, and a respectable party in Lebanon, and it has shown the opposite in recent days.

Macron: We will provide aid to the Lebanese through non-governmental organizations, and it is unconditional support for the Lebanese people.

Macron: Our assistance to the Lebanese people will not pass through government agencies.

Macron: We are entering a new phase in which the stakes are greater in Lebanon or the region, and the French road map is the only available option and is still on the table.

Macron: France will not abandon the Lebanese people, and I will call on the international community to help Lebanon within 20 days and inform them of the latest developments. We demand that the results of the investigation into the causes of the Beirut port explosion be announced

Macron: I will act according to the collective betrayal of the Lebanese political forces, and all of them bear the responsibility and they will pay the price in front of the Lebanese people.

Macron: Hezbollah and Amal did not respect what they said to me, and the failure is their failure, not mine. https://t.co/AyvBSDTNfV

Macron: Does saying that we failed help? This will not facilitate the issue.

Saad Hariri made a mistake when he added a sectarian criterion to form the government. But he withdrew from that and agreed to the settlement in a sense that there is no trap for every minister.

Macron: President Berri also said that was a condition of Hezbollah.

Macron: "We will be name a minister, even if he was a Shiite"

Macron: Those who lock the doors are not concerned with the sanctions. What are the other options? It is not realistic to form a government without the Shiite community.

Macron: Can we form a government without the Shiite sect? This is unrealistic and there is fear of Hezbollah, but I will not send the French army to defend those who fear it.

Macron: The French initiative will not be removed from the table, and the officials must seize this last opportunity.

Macron: The Lebanese Hezbollah should not believe that it is stronger than it is.

Macron: Imposing sanctions on those who hindered the formation of the government in Lebanon will not be effective (aka there is nothing to sanction Hezbullah).

Macron: We are not afraid of a civil war, and sanctions do not seem to me the right choice at present and do not respond to the need, and what we have to do is apply political pressure.

Macron: The criminal and financial investigation of the Banque du Liban and the institutions that will be followed are the appropriate way to return the money to the Lebanese. I am ashamed of what the leaders are doing in Lebanon.

France: Macron: We are working in Lebanon according to the Taif Agreement.

Macron: I cannot take the place of the Lebanese President, and the others should look after their responsibilities.

I don't know what Iran's role will be in this period.

The policy of sanctions by the USA was not coordinated with us, contributed to exacerbating the situation.
