In a recent statement, EU’s top diplomat Josep Borrell expressed grave concerns over the escalating situation in Lebanon, describing it as “extremely dangerous and worrying”. This sentiment has raised fears that the country may be on the brink of another full-scale war.
Lebanon has been facing a multitude of challenges in recent years, including economic collapse, political instability, and social unrest. The devastating explosion in Beirut last year only added to the country’s woes, further straining an already fragile situation. The recent spike in violence and political tensions has heightened concerns about the country’s future.
Borrell’s warning comes as Lebanon grapples with a political vacuum following the resignation of Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri. The country has been without a fully functioning government for over a year, further exacerbating the crisis. The ongoing power struggle between various political factions has further polarized the country and hindered efforts to address the pressing challenges facing Lebanon.
The international community has expressed growing alarm over the situation in Lebanon, with many calling for urgent action to prevent further escalation. The fear is that if the current trajectory continues, Lebanon could once again descend into chaos and violence, with devastating consequences for its people and the region as a whole.
As the world watches the situation in Lebanon unfold, there is a sense of urgency to find a peaceful and sustainable solution to the crisis. The international community must come together to support Lebanon in its time of need and help prevent another full-scale war that would only bring further suffering to the country and its people.
