Macron reiterated France's supportive stance and commitment to helping Lebanon navigate the current situation.

Berri, in turn, thanked President Macron for his call and for expressing solidarity with the Lebanese people.

He briefed Macron on the extensive impact of Israel's actions against Lebanon, describing them as an unprecedented 'war crime' affecting thousands of Lebanese.

The Speaker of the Parliament emphasized the urgent need for international pressure on Israel to end its aggression against Gaza and Lebanon.

He also praised France for its ongoing support of Lebanon, especially during the current crisis.
