Lebanon must not be ‘another Gaza,’ says UN chief

The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has expressed alarm on the rising tensions between Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Israel.

He warns that the tensions could lead to uncontrollable consequences.

“One rash move – one miscalculation – could trigger a catastrophe that goes far beyond the border, and frankly, beyond imagination,” Guterres told reporters.

“Let’s be clear: The people of the region and the people of the world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza,” he added.
