reference news network reported on september 28according to a report by agence france-presse on september 28, eu high representative for foreign affairs and security policy josep borrell said on the 27th that he regretted that no major country, including the united states, could "stop" israeli prime minister netanyahu. . he said netanyahu seemed determined to crush militant forces in gaza and lebanon.
"what we are doing is applying all diplomatic pressure to bring about a ceasefire, but no one seems to be able to stop netanyahu, neither in gaza nor in the west bank," he reportedly told reporters on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly.
borrell supports the french and american initiative for a 21-day ceasefire in lebanon. but israel ignored this and stepped up its attacks on hezbollah targets. borrell said netanyahu had made it clear that israel "will not stop its operations until hezbollah is destroyed."
"if 'destroyed' is interpreted the same way as israel's actions against hamas, then we are in for a long war," he said.
according to reports, he once again called on the united states to adopt diversified diplomatic methods. however, the united states has been trying for months to reach a ceasefire in gaza that would include the release of hostages, but to no avail.
borrell said: "we cannot rely solely on the united states. the united states has tried many times but failed to succeed." (compiled by pan xiaoyan)
