European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday that there can be no peace in the Middle East while Lebanon is 'going up in flames,' as reported by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The statement adds a major European voice to growing international discourse on the Lebanon front, where tensions have been high for weeks. Von der Leyen's comments echo recent calls by UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni for de-escalation, as noted by The Zioneer in earlier coverage. The remark comes amid ongoing rocket fire from Lebanon into northern Israel and continued Israeli operations against Hezbollah targets, though von der Leyen did not specify which party she held responsible for the escalation. No full transcript or official EU statement has been published at this hour.
