France and Saudi Arabia call for full disarmament of non-state groups, Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon

France and Saudi Arabia agreed to intensify efforts toward a final resolution of the conflict in Lebanon, emphasizing the need to strengthen the Lebanese state and its institutions while preserving the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In a joint statement, the two countries welcomed steps taken by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam to rebuild state institutions and extend the authority of the Lebanese state across the country.

France and Saudi Arabia also reaffirmed their support for the Lebanese Armed Forces and security forces, saying they should be enabled to carry out their national responsibilities fully.

The two countries stressed the importance of fully implementing U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 and called for the successful completion of the disarmament of all non-state armed groups.

The statement also called for Israel to withdraw from all Lebanese territory.
