  1. Fact: after Hamas terror attack on Israel on 7/11 Hizbulla decided to join Gaza and started bombing the northern part of Israel. As a result population from both side of the border had to leave their homes and find temporary shelter.
    How come France 24 shows only the Lebanese side? Tens thousands of Israeli’s had to fled their home because Lebanon aggression and you show only the aggressors side. This is wrong, This is unjust, this is twisted. The least you could do is show both sides and bring out the fact that the provocation started from Lebanon – shame!!!!

  5. Thank you, God ' s son macron. You and your ideas are so good and so powerful. Your decision to help Ukraine is perfect. I stand with you any hope and spirit. Thank you very much God bless you !!
