EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell sounded the alarm about Lebanon being dragged into a regional conflict in a spillover from Israel’s war with Hamas. Mr. Borrell, on a visit to Lebanon, said that it was imperative to avoid a regional escalation in the Middle East, and warned Israel that “nobody will win from a regional conflict”. He was commenting at a conference with caretaker Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati following talks with top government officials on events in and around Gaza, including the war’s impact and the situation at the Israeli-Lebanese border.
