Report: Paris warns Beirut of further escalation and deterioration
Paris, through its diplomatic channels and its Minister of Defense, has conveyed very serious warnings to Beirut about the deteriorating situation on the ground and its tendency towards further escalation, sources told the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper in remarks published Wednesday.
The information indicated that negotiations are currently at a standstill, given Washington's reluctance to pressure Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu's lack of response to French initiatives.
"This comes amid Parisian fears that the ground invasion will expand in scope, both temporally and geographically, without any defined limits," the sources added.
