Israel, having destroyed the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, deliberately escalated the conflict. Now all responsibility for the escalation falls on the Israeli leaders. This was stated today, October 2, by the permanent representative of Russia, Vasili Nebencia, during the meeting of the UN Security Council for the Middle East.
“This political liquidation is fraught with catastrophic consequences for Lebanon and the entire Middle East. In West Jerusalem they could not help but understand this, but they deliberately escalated the situation. Therefore, the Israeli side bears full responsibility for the subsequent escalation and its consequences, including for the Israeli population.” – Nebencia said.
As reported EADaily earlier today UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres He stated that he condemns the expansion of the conflict in the Middle East “with escalation after escalation” and called for a ceasefire. However, his message did not mention either Israel or Iran. However, soon the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz declared that he had declared Guterres persona non grata in Israel.
