NEW YORK CITY: France’s ambassador to the UN, Jerome Bonnafont, warned the UN Security Council that Israel’s expanding military operations in Lebanon risked becoming a “major strategic mistake,” as he urged all parties to recommit to the fragile ceasefire agreement and pursue a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. Speaking during an emergency Security Council meeting on Monday to discuss Lebanon, convened at the request of France, Bonnafont said the escalating violence threatened regional stability and undermined efforts to secure a lasting peace between Lebanon and Israel.
