PARIS (Dispatches) – In a move recalling France’s colonial past, President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday he would give Lebanon’s leaders another four to six weeks to implement a roadmap proposed by France to form a sort of government desired by the West, but ruled out imposing sanctions on its leaders for now.
Macron said he did not believe that imposing sanctions would be useful at this stage, but that he could consider it at a later stage in conjunction with others.
