LONDON, April 9 (Reuters) – British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said Israel’s pounding of Lebanon was “deeply damaging” and said that conflict must end to prevent the U.S.-Iran ceasefire from being destabilised.
“We want to see Lebanon included in the ceasefire,” she told Times Radio on Thursday. “We want it extended to cover Lebanon, because otherwise that will destabilise the whole region.”
“That escalation that we saw from Israel yesterday was deeply damaging, and we want to see an end to hostilities.”
