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.
