Macron says ending arms exports for Gaza, Lebanon only way to stop fighting
French President Emmanuel Macron said that "stopping the export of weapons" used in Gaza and Lebanon was the only way to end fighting there, and also condemned "deliberate" targeting of U.N. peacekeepers.
"We all know it. It's the unique lever that would end it," Macron said at a summit of European and Mediterranean leaders in Cyprus, where he also said it was "absolutely unacceptable" that U.N. peacekeepers in Lebanon are "deliberately targeted" by Israeli forces.
