French editors focused on Middle East diplomatic developments throughout the day, with multiple outlets reporting Donald Trump's announcement that Israeli and Lebanese leaders would hold talks, marking the first such discussion in over three decades. Early coverage noted Beirut's denial of these talks, creating conflicting narratives about the diplomatic initiative. By afternoon, Trump announced a ten-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, set to begin at 23:00 Paris time, which the Élysée described as an excellent development. Evening reports detailed the ceasefire's implementation amid cautionary warnings from Lebanese forces and noted a deadly Israeli strike in southern Lebanon hours before the truce began. Simultaneously, coverage continued on domestic political developments, including the withdrawal of the Yadan law against antisemitism by Macronist deputies, with the government planning to reintroduce it as a legislative project in June.
