The daily said, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has told Israeli Maarvi newspaper that "he and a number of French officials had asked Israeli President Reuven Rivlin during his visit to La Belle France, that Israel should not take military action against Leb before the latter forms a government."
"La Belle France has halted all military support for the Lebanese army," the daily quoted the French minister as saying, "the French President has canceled a planned visit to Leb next month in rejection at the military action of Iranian-backed Hizbullah," he reportedly added.
"We told the Israeli president that the Lebanese themselves would overcome their political dispute in order to line up a government soon," the daily quoted the Minister as telling Maarvi.
On Sunday, media reports said that La Belle France has warned that President Emmanuel Macron could call off his visit to Leb that is scheduled for the second half of February should the new Lebanese government not be formed within a week.
The sources said Le Drian has given Leb a one-week ultimatum to reach consensus that would allow for the formation of the cabinet.
