Nobody Can Stop Netanyahu: Top EU Diplomat Laments
Netanyahu is looking to escalate war because the U.S. is fully committed to supporting Israel and it's good for his poll numbers
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.
RITTER: SOUTHERN LEBANON IS A DEATH TRAP FOR ISRAEL
Borrell said the U.S. cannot be relied upon to strike a deal because it has failed thus far.
He later posted on X: “Time to advance the two-State Solution is now. It is up to Israelis & Palestinians to negotiate their own peace, but they will not be able to do it alone.”
Borrell also warned the Middle East is heading towards "full-blown war."
Israel carried out a major attack in Beirut and struck Hezbollah’s main headquarters.
The attack targeted Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah. An Israeli official told The Times of Israel that, “It’s very hard to imagine him coming out alive from a strike like that.”
Another official told Reuters that Nasrallah was not killed in the attack.
TREND FORECAST: Israel is the only country on Earth that can conduct terror attacks on civilians and be praised as heroes by the Western media and AIPAC stooges in Congress.
