"...expansionist mindset of Israel...", says Lebanon envoy to India, amid escalating tension
As Israel is observing one year anniversary of the Hamas terror attack of Oct 7, Lebanon's Ambassador to India Dr Rabie Narsh told ANI that it should be a wake-up call for the international community that enough is enough.
"It should be a call for the world to address the grievances of the Palestinian people and oppressed people and to work for lasting peace. This should be a day to remember that what happened on October 7, 2023, did not start on that day but decades before, since the occupation of Arab land by Israel...This expansionist mindset of Israel is the root cause of the situation. The current situation in Lebanon, we are enduring a war...The death toll is rising above 2100 and more than 1.2 million people are displaced. This adds great pressure on Lebanon...", he said.
