New York: The US State Department has warned that it is not acceptable to turn Israel’s military incursion into southern Lebanon into an attack on the Gaza Strip.
According to international media reports, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters in a regular news briefing that we cannot see the situation in Lebanon turning into the situation in Gaza when asked about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. And neither would want it would certainly not be acceptable.
He said that I am making it very clear that there should be no military action in Lebanon that would result in a situation like Gaza.
In a video message to the people of Lebanon on Tuesday, Netanyahu said Hezbollah has been weak for many years and urged the Lebanese to take their country back to the terrorists, Reuters reported. Don’t let it destroy you.
“You have a chance to save Lebanon before it gets stuck in a protracted war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we’re seeing in Gaza. It shouldn’t happen,” he said.
