from PressTV

British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has criticized remarks made by Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who stated that “all of Lebanon must burn” after four Israeli soldiers were killed in a retaliatory operation carried out by Hezbollah resistance fighters in southern Lebanon. 

In a post published on the social media platform X, Cooper called the comments “a horrendous and abhorrent statement from an Israeli minister who has rightly been sanctioned by the UK Government.

Cooper further appealed to Israel and Hezbollah to adhere to the ceasefire in Lebanon, and to avoid escalating tensions. 

She emphasized the importance of “ensuring that all civilians are protected,” highlighting the necessity of preventing further violence while diplomatic efforts aim to stabilize the border situation. 

Meanwhile, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has criticized the recent shelling in Lebanon’s southern province of Nabatieh, labeling the assaults as “relentless” and “devastating.”
