Fighting between the two sides continues as France tries to defuse tensions. At the end of April, French Foreign Minister Stéphane Sejournet came up with proposals for Israel and "Hezbollah", but there is still no response from Israeli leaders.
On a visit to Lebanon, Stephane Sejourne stated that "no one is interested in Israel and "Hezbollah" to continue this escalation". However, the group has stepped up its attacks on Israel in recent weeks after Israel stormed the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
