The French government has urged its nationals living in Lebanon to leave the country, citing the growing risk of military escalation in the Middle East. The warning came as part of a travel advisory issued by the French Foreign Ministry, stressing the growing risks in the region.
In its warning, the French Foreign Ministry strongly advised its citizens against traveling to Lebanon. The warning comes amid growing fears of a major conflict, especially given ongoing cross-border hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Tensions have been rising since October 7, when Hamas launched an attack on Israel from Gaza, prompting Hezbollah to launch attacks on Israel the following day.
The situation remains tense, and the French government is taking these precautions to ensure the safety of its citizens. The ministry’s warning reflects the seriousness of the current situation and the potential for further violence in the region.
