## Resource

Israel’s latest military push into Lebanon, targeting areas north and south of the Litani River, marks a dangerous escalation that violates international law and undermines peace efforts. Framed as a defense against Hizbullah, the operation appears more like a calculated gamble to derail a U.S. peace deal with Iran — directly contradicting Prime Minister Netanyahu’s own goal of toppling Tehran’s regime. The devastating toll — over a million displaced, nearly 3,500 dead, villages erased — has only deepened Lebanon’s suffering and actually strengthened Hizbullah’s position among locals. Netanyahu’s lifelong obsession with dismantling Iran, aligned with Trump’s foreign policy, now collides with reality as Iran retaliates and peace talks stall. With Lebanon caught in the crossfire and global backlash mounting, Europe must step up — starting with France’s call for a UN Security Council meeting — to force a diplomatic end to this destructive cycle.
