The head of the United Nations has expressed opposition to an Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon, as stated by a spokesperson on Monday. The spokesperson for UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized the desire to avoid any form of ground invasion, citing the potential devastating impact on both the people of Israel and Lebanon.
Highlighting the destructive consequences of an all-out war, particularly a ground war in Lebanon, the spokesperson underlined the urgent need to prevent such escalation. The ongoing intensity of the conflict on both sides of the border has hindered the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) from effectively carrying out patrols and fulfilling most of their responsibilities.
The statement from the UN spokesperson comes amidst heightened tensions in the region, with concerns growing over the possibility of further military actions. The UN's stance against a ground invasion underscores the organization's commitment to promoting peace and stability in the area.
