The Kremlin said Saudi Arabia will be the main guest at this week's economic forum.

French foreign minister Barro said in an interview on the 2nd that Israeli military actions inside Lebanon "have no justification." He added Israel has a right to self-defence against HEZBOLLAH attacks, but its operations and continued presence inside Lebanon are unjustified. France called on HEZBOLLAH to stop strikes on Israel and urged Israel to cease strikes on Lebanon. French sources said the 2026 European International Defence Exhibition will be held mid-June in the Paris suburbs and France will bar displays of Israeli-made offensive weapons; Barro said the position is "consistent" and any Israeli equipment exhibited must be defensive.

Local time June 2, the Israeli military said its Givati Brigade conducted multiple operations in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon, including targeted raids, weapons clearance and strikes on armed personnel. The operations aimed to establish Israeli positions, remove direct threats to northern Israel and strengthen deployments in southern Lebanon. The military said forces crossed the Litani River and, with Israeli Air Force support, carried out precision strikes that destroyed militant infrastructure, searched for and cleared weapons, and killed multiple armed personnel.
