00:00I was able to make the point this morning with the French and American commands.
00:05Results have been obtained.
00:07A first Israeli withdrawal operated to the west, but they must accelerate,
00:11confirm themselves in the long run.
00:13And we need a total withdrawal of the Israeli forces,
00:15a total monopoly of the Lebanese army on weapons.
00:20This is why we strongly support the rise in power of the Lebanese armed forces
00:27and their deployment in the south of the country.
00:29The Lebanese armed forces constitute a pillar of the sovereignty of Lebanon,
00:34an essential actor to ensure the ceasefire,
00:37and we must therefore continue to accelerate recruitment,
00:40consolidate international support in terms of equipment, training and financial support.
