There is a fear of early approval by France to limit the tasks of the new force, not only to the implementation of the "framework agreement", but also to the adoption of strict working mechanisms that give it powers and capabilities to confront Hezbollah. According to Al-Akhbar information, senior Lebanese officials and politicians warned the French against taking this step. Those in the know say that Paris heard clear words that any attempt to use an international force in Israel's service would turn it into a hostile entity to the residents of the south, and would prevent it from remaining in its positions, and might even deprive it of the ability to provide protection to its friends.
In the same context, official and political circles reacted to the ongoing discussion on the topic of preventing the formation of a security vacuum in the south, against the background of a French tendency to use the results of the elections in Israel and the US to push them to make concessions in this case. But Washington is working to contain this trend.
