Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy head, expressed dismay on Friday that there is nobody who seems capable of stopping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from escalating wars 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,” Borrell told a group of reporters at the UN, according to The Times of Israel.
He noted how Netanyahu said he would not stop until Hezbollah is destroyed, but, “If the interpretation of being destroyed is the same as with Hamas, then we are going to go for a long war.”
Netanyahu has not achieved any military objectives in Gaza and Hamas is still in possession of about 100 hostages. Netanyahu has escalated attacks in Lebanon as Hezbollah continued to launch attacks into northern Israel in defense of the Palestinians being massacred in Gaza.
