Switzerland condemns Israeli military actions in Lebanon

[bemildred]

Switzerland on Thursday condemned Israel's "disproportional" military actions in Lebanon, expressing concerns that those actions could ignite a regional conflict.

"Even if the aggression by Hizbollah on the Israeli border can be condemned, Israel's reply should remain strictly proportional and not threaten a non-hostile neighboring state," the Swiss Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The ministry said it welcomed the Lebanese government's actions to try to find a solution to the crisis.

It also called on all parties involved to end the "destructive escalation" which threatened to turn into a regional conflict with potentially devastating effects on the local population.
