Paris — French President Emmanuel Macron assailed Hezbollah and the entire Lebanese political class Sunday, and warned of a new civil war if they can’t set aside personal and religious interests to unlock international aid and save Lebanon from economic collapse.
He accused them of “collective betrayal” and choosing “to favor their partisan and individual interests to the general detriment of the country.” Macron didn’t propose any concrete steps that France might take if Lebanon's Central Bank reserves dry up and the government is no longer be able to subsidize basic goods such as fuel, medicine and wheat.
Many in Lebanon think sanctions are the only effective way to deal with politicians who are putting their self-interest and greed ahead of the country’s interests. But that would put France in confrontation with the entire political class just as Macron is trying to broker a solution.
