French Troops Create Crisis In Lebanon
Tension in Syria and Lebanon remained high as France refused to withdraw troop reinforcements. Dispatches from Cairo described a guarded French stance with no early settlement in sight amid clashes and bloodshed. Paris reports noted cabinet discussions on Levantine affairs, while Arab outlets cited general strikes in Palestine in solidarity. The World Security Conference attendees accused France of using Senegalese troops, and French officials said the Levant would host bases and depots for a future war, with Syria and Lebanon needing a protector power.
