Bou Habib asks ambassadors to 'press Israel to halt escalation'
Caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib on Friday met with the ambassadors of Norwary, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Canada.
“I expressed Lebanon’s deep concern over the continuation of the aggression against Gaza for the fourteenth day, asking their nations to intervene through pressing Israel to halt the escalation,” Bou Habib said.
“The escalation of the hate speech and incitement to violence will not spare the Western countries,” the minister warned.
He had earlier met with the Belgian ambassador and warned that “should the Middle East get infected with cold, the infection will move to Europe.”
