“France and Lebanon share 'cultural, religious and political links, dating back to the 19th century'”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly stated in a cross-reference from France24. Furthermore, the Wikipedia entry on 'France–Lebanon relations' and the mention of 'Greater Lebanon' (informally known as French Lebanon) provide historical context supporting the existence of deep, long-standing ties between the two nations, aligning with the claim's assertion of links dating back to the 19th century. The combination of the direct report and historical context from multiple sources supports this verdict.
