Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris in early December for talks expected to include developments in Lebanon, Netanyahu's office said on Sunday.

In a phone call on Sunday, "President Macron updated Prime Minister Netanyahu with the measures he is taking in the crisis in Lebanon," it said in a Hebrew-language statement.

"The two leaders decided to speak again in the coming days and to meet in Paris at the beginning of next month."

Netanyahu last visited the Elysee in July.

On November 4, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced his shock resignation while in Saudi Arabia, citing Iran's "grip" on his country and threats to his life.
