France calls for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council for Israeli operations in Lebanon
In mid-April, Israel established a "yellow line" (such as the one it applies in Gaza) that runs about ten kilometres from the border between the two countries, and the perimeter between them was invaded by Israeli troops.
French Foreign MinisterJean-Noel Barrot announced on Sunday that he had requested an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council forthe ongoing military operations in Israel Libano.
In an interview with BFMTV, Barrot stated that "nothing can justify the extension of Israeli military operations in Lebanon or the growing occupation of Lebanese territory."
The attacks between Israel and the Shia Hezbollah movement are daily, despite the fact that, in theory, a ceasefire has been in place since 17 April.
For his part, Israeli PrimeMinister Binyamin Netanyahu announced on Friday that the Israeli Army had crossed the Litani River, about 30 kilometres north of the border between the two countries, and ordered them to continue. The aim of the operation is to defeat Hezbollah.
"This extension of Israeli operations, this progress, is contrary to the commitments made by Israel in the ceasefire agreement, international law (...) and the interests and security of Israel," the head of French diplomacy said today. And he warned, "Every people bombed, every people occupied, every civilian killed strengthens Hezbollah in the long run."
In mid-April, Israel established a 'yellow line'(like the one it applies in Gaza) about ten kilometres from the border between the two countries, and the perimeter between them was occupied by Israeli troops. In recent days, the armed forces have begun to invade land beyond that line.
The deployment of operations has provoked international criticism and led to increased diplomatic pressure on the conflict, which has not yet worked.
