The British government issued a strong criticism of Israel's recent military actions in Lebanon, particularly regarding the targeting of medical facilities.
On Saturday, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy expressed deep concern over reports of Israeli strikes hitting healthcare infrastructure and medical teams in Lebanon.
His statement adds to growing international criticism, following France's condemnation of Israeli operations in the region.
Lammy called for all parties involved to adhere to international humanitarian law, especially after four hospitals in Lebanon were forced to shut down.
The United Nations also warned of an increasing number of attacks on healthcare workers and facilities.
This comes just hours after French President Emmanuel Macron voiced his disapproval of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to conduct military ground operations in Lebanon.
Macron also reiterated his call for halting the supply of weapons to Israel for its conflict in Gaza, urging a political solution as the top priority.
In his remarks, Macron emphasized that a return to diplomacy and political dialogue should take precedence over further military engagement, particularly in Gaza.
In response to the growing international criticism, Netanyahu strongly rebuked these calls, stating that Israel is currently fighting forces backed by Iran and that all civilized nations should stand in solidarity with Israel.
He specifically addressed Macron's comments, criticizing Western leaders for suggesting an arms embargo on Israel, stating that Israel will prevail regardless of their support. However, he remarked that their "shame" will endure long after Israel achieves victory.
