MENA adviser to French President Emmanuel Macron met Thursday in Lebanon with President Joseph Aoun and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, amid increased pressure on Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah.

Anne-Claire Legendre discussed with the two leaders economic reforms that the international community is demanding crisis-hit Lebanon to implement in order to unlock financial aid. She also discussed a ceasefire reached last year with Israel, Hezbollah's disarmament, and decreasing Israel's military pressure on Lebanon, local media reports said.
