The US warns Israel that there cannot be an offensive similar to that in Gaza in Lebanon

MADRID 9 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The United States has warned the Government of Israel this Wednesday that there cannot be an offensive in Lebanon that is similar to that in the Gaza Strip, where more than 42,000 people have already died and 97,700 have been injured.

“I say very clearly that there should be no military action in Lebanon that looks like Gaza and that has a result that looks like Gaza,” said US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller at a press conference.

Miller thus responded to a question posed by a journalist about the words of Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who assured the day before that there is an opportunity to “save” the country “before it falls into the abyss of a long war.” that will cause destruction and suffering” like what is happening in Gaza.

On the other hand, he assured that they are “aware of Israel’s long history of starting with limited ground operations that become larger-scale operations” and, later, “occupation.” “It is something that we are very clear that we oppose. We are against,” he added.
