The European Union has strongly condemned recent Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, calling them a violation of the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. The EU urged Israel to respect United Nations resolution 1701 and the ceasefire established in November 2024. The statement also called on all Lebanese actors, particularly Hezbollah, to avoid actions that could escalate tensions. The EU emphasized the importance of maintaining the ceasefire and building on the progress made so far.
