Middle East crisis: Israel launches more strikes on Beirut
The Guardian 28 September 2024

Borrell regrets failure to 'stop' Netanyahu -- now that Russia-Ukraine war, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and other terrorists terror and all the other wars, ethnic cleansing etc. have been stopped....

The European Union’s foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, has voiced regret that no power, including the US, can “stop” Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the Israeli prime minister appears determined to crush militants in Gaza and Lebanon

“What we do is to put all diplomatic pressure to a ceasefire but nobody seems to be able to stop Netanyahu neither in Gaza nor in the West Bank” Agence France-Presse reports Borrell telling journalists as he attended the UN general assembly on Friday

Borrell backed an initiative by France and the US for a 21-day ceasefire in Lebanon which Israel has brushed aside as it steps up strikes on Hezbollah targets

He said Netanyahu had made clear that the Israelis “don’t stop until Hezbollah is destroyed” much as in its nearly year-old campaign in Gaza against fellow Iranian-backed militant group Hamas

If the interpretation of being destroyed is the same as with Hamas, then we are going to go for a long war

The outgoing EU foreign affairs chief again called for diversifying diplomacy from the US which has tried for months unsuccessfully to seal a ceasefire in Gaza that would include the release of hostages

“We cannot rely just on the US” Borrell said “The US tried several times – they didn’t succeed”
