French President Emmanuel Macron announced France would provide aid packages of 100 million euros or equivalent to IDR 1.68 trillion for Lebanon.

This was conveyed by Macron at the International Conference to Support the People and Sovereignty of Lebanon in Paris.

PBB has applied for as much as 426 million. France will provide 100 million euros during this conference. All it takes is to provide protection for families, feed children, care for the injured, and continue to provide schools for students," Macron said., October 24.

The French president also called for a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel.

A ceasefire is needed in Lebanon. More damage, more casualties, more attacks will not end terrorism and will not guarantee the security of everyone. I deeply regret that Iran has involved Hezbollah against Israel, while higher interests from Lebanon demand that they stay away from the Gaza war. I regret Israel continues its military operations in Lebanon, South, Beirut, and elsewhere, and the number of civilian casualties continues to rise," Macron said.

The conference, which was held on the initiative of the French president, was attended at the ministerial level by more than 50 countries as well as the United Nations and the European Union. While Israel did not participate.
