It would be unreasonable to expect Lebanon’s government to disarm Hezbollah while the country is being bombed by Israel, France’s special envoy for Lebanon has said, AFP reports.
He added that only a negotiation would resolve the crisis.
“Israel occupied Lebanon for a very long time and failed to eradicate Hezbollah’s military capacity. Therefore, they cannot now ask the Lebanese government to do that job in three days under bombardment,” Jean-Yves Le Drian told France Info radio.
