UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on Lebanon fighting

Humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher will brief the Security Council at an emergency meeting tomorrow morning, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric says.

France calls for the meeting with support from the council’s other European members, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Greece and Latvia. Paris expresses deep concern about escalating violence in Lebanon and condemns Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel since March 1.

France’s Foreign Ministry urges Hezbollah “to end its operations and hand over its weapons” and on Israel “to refrain from any land-based or long-term interventions in Lebanon.”
