Moscow, Russia – British Foreign Secretary David Lammy expressed shock at the escalation between Israel and Lebanon and called on both sides to immediately cease fire.
Lammy wrote on his social media page: “I am deeply shocked by the missile strikes and air strikes in Lebanon and Israel and the resulting civilian deaths. Further escalation has the potential to have even more devastating consequences. I once again call on both sides to immediately cease fire, and I will draw attention to this aspect when I meet with G7 ministers.”
