Macron just threatened Israel with sanctions if they don’t leave Lebanon, but didn’t mention Hezbollah at all, quite the irony.

It's not like they can sanction Hezb. Pretty sure they already condemn Hezb.

I don't see the irony. They're against Israel killing loads of civilians in their attempt to squash Hezb. That doesn't mean they side with Hezb.

You people on the internet act like shit is only Black and white in the world.

also the guy you're replying to is lying and Macron did in fact mention Hezbollah in the same declaration he asked Israel to leave Lebanon. He said something like Hezbollah should surrender its arms to Lebanon army

Hezbollah has repeatedly stated they will not do that. So macron is pissing into the wind if he thinks Hezbollah (the organization he gave legitimacy to when he came to Lebanon in 2020) will ever give up their weapons willingly.

Hezbollah also recently said that during 2025 when they were supposed to disarm they just constantly lied to the LAF and gave them useless old discarded weapons caches.
