Qatar's Prime Minister accused Israel on Wednesday of overreacting to cross-border exchanges with Hezbollah rather than pursuing de-escalation. He said a proposed mechanism to prevent escalation in Lebanon would include a ceasefire review, according to Israel Hayom.
Qatar's Prime Minister directly accused Israel on Wednesday of overreacting to cross-border fire exchanges with Hezbollah instead of pursuing calm, in comments carried by Israel Hayom. He stated that a proposed 'mechanism to prevent escalation in Lebanon' would include a review of the ceasefire. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions on the Lebanon front, with The Zioneer previously reporting on U.S. and Iranian criticisms of Israel's posture in southern Lebanon. The Qatari leader offered no specifics on how such a mechanism would operate or who would oversee it, and his statement did not address Hezbollah's role in the exchanges.
