Josep Borrell warned that strong diplomatic mediation is urgently needed to prevent a full-scale war between Israel and Lebanon, stressing the unacceptable civilian toll.
Borrell condemned the nature of the attacks, stating that they are 'targeted because of the purpose and random because of the consequences,' highlighting the indiscriminate suffering of civilians.
With 500 dead and 4,400 injured from the recent Israeli airstrikes, Borrell emphasized the disregard for civilian impact, calling for an immediate ceasefire and action on UN Resolution 1701.
Expressing frustration with the Security Council, Borrell noted its failure to implement Resolution 1701, stating, 'The council risks losing legitimacy... they either don't agree or don't implement.'
