António Guterres Instagram – I am profoundly concerned about escalation between Israel and Hezbollah along the Blue Line.
Escalation in continued exchanges of fire.
Escalation in bellicose rhetoric from both sides as if an all-out war was imminent.
Further military escalation will only guarantee more suffering, more devastation to communities in Lebanon and Israel, and more potentially catastrophic consequences for the region.
The risk for the conflict in the Middle East to widen is real – and must be avoided.
The world must say loudly and clearly: immediate de-escalation is not only possible – it is essential.
There is no military solution. It is time for reason and rationality. | Posted on 21/Jun/2024 23:45:02
