Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the Secretary-General of the Arab League, has expressed deep concern about the potential escalation of military confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah, fearing it could extend beyond its current scope and drag the Middle East into a regional war.
Aboul Gheit emphasized the Arab League’s full solidarity with Lebanon and condemned the Israeli threats directed at the country.
He warned that any further escalation could pose a severe threat to the security and stability of the entire region.
Jamal Roushdi, the spokesperson for the Secretary-General, added that the Arab League also calls for an investigation into the incident in Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan, which resulted in the deaths of Syrian individuals.
Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have been mounting in recent weeks, exacerbated by ongoing conflicts in Gaza and recent cross-border incidents.
The situation remains volatile, with potential for further escalation that could impact regional stability.
The Arab League, an organization aimed at fostering economic, cultural, and political cooperation among Arab states, plays a significant role in addressing conflicts in the region.
The Secretary-General’s remarks reflect the broader concerns of Arab nations about the potential for conflict to spread beyond its current parameters, impacting neighboring countries and broader geopolitical dynamics.
