According to the AFP report, during a visit to the United Nations Peacekeeping Force base in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL) in Deir Kifa, located in southern Lebanon, he stated: “What we are mainly waiting for is that the Syrians can decide their own destiny. take it into their own hands again.”

The French Foreign Minister also said that for this reason, after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, a political transition process must begin in Syria that includes all groups in Syria with all their diversity and guarantees respect for the most basic rights and fundamental freedoms.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of France along with the Minister of Armed Forces of this country traveled to Lebanon in order to meet the soldiers of the French battalions on the occasion of the New Year and evaluate the implementation of the ceasefire agreement between the forces of the Zionist regime and Hezbollah.

The large-scale war of the Zionist regime against Lebanon began on September 23, 2024, and on November 27, 2024, the two sides agreed on a ceasefire. 35 days have passed since the ceasefire between the Zionist regime and the Lebanese Hezbollah. According to the ceasefire agreement, the Zionist regime must withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon, and in return, Hezbollah must withdraw to the north of the Litani River, and about 5,000 Lebanese army troops will be stationed in this area. Since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, the Zionist regime has violated this agreement more than 300 times. 32 people have been martyred and 38 people have been injured due to the violation of the ceasefire by the Zionist regime.

Sebastien LeCorneau, Minister of the French Armed Forces, also noted on Tuesday: On Sunday, we carried out airstrikes against the positions of ISIS terrorists in Syria.

France had previously announced that it welcomes the fall of Assad in Syria and calls for a peaceful transition.

The United States and the United Kingdom have also said that despite the fact that Tahrir al-Sham is on their list of terrorist groups, they want to communicate with it.

After their advances that started from Aleppo and reached Hama, the Syrian armed opposition started their movement towards Damascus from the south of Syria last Saturday and entered the Syrian capital on the morning of Sunday, December 8 and took control of it. They put an end to Bashar al-Assad’s rule for several years.
