France Reportedly Delays Rocket Supply to Lebanon

France has reportedly delayed a supply of rockets to the Lebanon, Pan-Arab Al-Hayat newspaper said Thursday.

It said the shipment, bound for the Lebanese army, was based on a promise made to outgoing PM Saad Hariri.

Al-Hayat quoted French sources as saying that France has adopted a wait-and-see attitude toward Hizbullah-backed Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati.

“The issue of rockets is postponed for now,” one source told Al-Hayat.

The source said France “will be cautious. It will wait to see what Miqati is going to do before taking a decision.”
