France and Lebanon share 'cultural, religious, political links, dating back to the 19th century' ...Middle East

As French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting Nawaf Salam, the Lebanese Prime Minister, here in Paris, Genie Godula is pleased to welcome Salah Hijazi, Deputy Head of Politics at L’Orient-Le Jour. He explores the role of France in Lebanon’s geopolitical landscape amid renewed conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. Drawing on historical ties rooted in culture, diplomacy and religion, he examines how France’s traditional position as a mediator has shifted in recent years. While France once played a central role in brokering agreements, notably during the 2006 Lebanon War, it now finds itself increasingly sidelined due to regional realignments and strained relations with Israel. According to Hijazi, France remains committed to Lebanon, but its influence has become more indirect and behind the scenes. Today, its role lies less in direct negotiation and more in reinforcing Lebanese state institutions, particularly the army, while maintaining open, if limited, channels of communication with actors like Hezbollah. Ultimately, any durable resolution appears contingent not only on Lebanese dynamics but also on broader regional negotiations, especially those involving Tehran.
