Barrot: France ready to defend partners in Middle East conflict

Jean-Noël Barrot stated that Paris is ready to defend its partners “at their request and in a proportionate manner,” Le Parisien reports.

“We have the right to intervene, and we are ready to do so,” Barro emphasised. “Many countries have been drawn into this conflict against their will, in a war they did not choose.”

France confirms its readiness to provide assistance to allies and ensure protection against threats arising from the escalating situation in the Middle East.
