EU says 'race against time' to avoid Lebanon 'conflagration'

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Friday said the international community must speed up efforts for a political solution in Lebanon to prevent fighting between Israel and Hezbollah spiraling into a "conflagration".

"We are currently engaged in a race against time between the possible start of a political process in Lebanon and a generalized conflagration with incalculable consequences," Borrell said in a statement.
