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.
Macron: I decided not to follow the path of declaring war on Hezbollah. This is futile and will destroy Lebanon.

Some leaders in the region are attracted by this road on declaring war on it. And we have to avoid that completely.

The Shiites in Lebanon must choose democracy.
France: Macron: I do not have any evidence that Iran has obstructed the situation in Lebanon.
France: Macron: We will work with regional partners, including Iran, regarding the situation in Lebanon.
Macron: Hezbollah faces a historic choice. Does it want democracy and Lebanon, or does it want the worst scenario (War)?

Today matters are in the hands of President Berri and Hezbollah.
Macron: In a month and a half, we will reassess the possibility of a service government in Lebanon or create a new charter, and we will see what happens from now to 6 weeks.

Note: New charter is what I told told a week ago Europe is reporting for and what Hezbullah wants.
Macron: Lebanon has no production and it needs the financial and banking system. This model collapsed due to the absence of reforms, corruption reign and the country became hostage to politics and parties.
Lebanon recorded today 1,012 new Covid-19 cases and 7 new deaths.

12,936 tests were done, including 11,914 locally.

Only 22 ICU units are still available in Lebanon. RIP to who comes after that. https://t.co/atIxfyHFUV
Macron: It is required to implement reforms in the energy sector, the banking system and all other utilities
Without international aid, this is not possible, and international aid will not come without a system we trust.
Macron: The golden era is still possible. Lebanon is a great country, its location is strategic, and it is still able to recover.
Macron: The service government does not mean that it does not represent all sects, but it should be far from the parties
The only solution is a government that respects the sects, but sects are not their authority.
@FireballForeskn Only people Hezbullah fought were:

1- Israel

2- Israel's proxy SLA

3- ISIS and Al Qaeda.

Your family fits in what section?
