  1. Perhaps, but it may be a bit too early to tell, one way or the other (so keep those seatbelts fastened)…

    Here’s a far more accurate and comprehensive explanation of what the Media (Mud-ia? Merde-ia?) is essentially concealing…and though it may not be required reading for Neo’s crowd it still contains a few essential reminders):

    “Rescuing Hezbollah: Inside France’s panic over Israel’s deepening incursion;
    “France’s panic tells us less about humanitarian principle than about the enduring European compulsion to rescue failing actors from the consequences of their own aggression, particularly when Israel is the one delivering them“—
    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/428012

    Concluding grafs:

    …The beneficiaries of this approach have included Hezbollah, Hamas, and various other organizations whose persistence the European diplomatic framework has inadvertently subsidized. The losers have consistently included the civilians on both sides who pay the cost when deterrence collapses…

    France is not a neutral party deploying principled concern. It is a state with specific interests in Lebanese political arrangements that Israeli military success threatens to restructure. Calling that interest humanitarian does not make it so.

    If Barrot and his colleagues were genuinely concerned about Lebanese welfare, they would be asking why Resolution 1701 was never enforced, who bears responsibility for allowing Hezbollah to rebuild at scale, and what diplomatic framework could actually prevent the next war rather than merely pause the current one. Those questions do not appear to be on the Security Council’s agenda. Rescuing Hezbollah from military defeat is.
