France denounces Netanyahu’s ‘provocation’ over Gaza-like threats to destroy Lebanon
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot on Tuesday denounced the provocation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who threatened to destroy Lebanon like he did in Gaza if it didn’t get rid of Hezbollah.
“The situation in Lebanon is catastrophic,” Barrot said in an interview with France 2 TV channel.
“If this provocation goes ahead, it will drag Lebanon, a friend of France, into chaos while it is in a state of great weakness… This will present Israel with greater security problems than those that prevailed before the military operations in Lebanon,” he added.
