France Macron under fire over Iran, Hezbollah policy as Trump admin hosts Israel-Lebanon talks

France's President Emmanuel Macron is facing renewed criticism for his lack of support for President Donald Trump's war against Iran and demands to include Lebanon in the current ceasefire as historic talks between Israel and Lebanon are set to begin Tuesday.

The historic meeting brokered by President Trump between Lebanon, a former French mandate, and Israel will take place at the ambassador level as hopes for an agreement evolve ­— most noticeably without French involvement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to host both nations' ambassadors.
