And we want to see an end to hostilities in Lebanon," Cooper said.Kaja Kallas, the European Union's foreign affairs chief, said "Israel’s right to defend itself does not justify inflicting such massive destruction.""Israeli strikes killed hundreds last night, making it hard to argue that such heavy-handed actions fall within self-defence," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Israeli actions are putting the U.S.-Iran ceasefire under severe strain." French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday took a similar position, saying France condemned Israel's "indiscriminate" strikes on Lebanon "in the strongest possible terms.""They pose a direct threat to the sustainability of the ceasefire that has just been reached. Lebanon must be fully covered by it," Macron said.The U.S. and Israel have maintained that Lebanon was never part of the ceasefire agreement, even though Iran and Pakistan have both said the truce covered the fighting there.See All UpdatesClose
