According to sources close to the Elysée Palace, during a meeting on April 19 with Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Army Commander-in-Chief General Joseph Aoun, French President Emmanuel Macron paid a tribute to the chief of the Lebanese armed forces.
The same source relayed that Macron was pleased by Joseph Aoun's briefing on the Lebanese security situation. In this regard, the Commander-in-Chief detailed the measures that have maintained stability across the country, noting that despite the conflict in southern Lebanon and Israel expanding its attacks to the region of Baalbeck, security remains under control.
Joseph Aoun also emphasized that the Lebanese Army is steadfast in its efforts to prevent any potential trouble, particularly with over 50% of the country's population being non-Lebanese, speaking about Syrian migrants. In this context, General Aoun highlighted that while occasional incidents arise between Lebanese people and Syrian migrants, they are promptly addressed and do not lead to enduring tensions.
