Netanyahu is violating Lebanon's sovereignty with support from the US, Europe: French MP

Jean-Luc Melenchon, a left-wing French politician and former Member of the European Parliament (MEP), expressed his outrage over the ongoing violence in Lebanon.

"[I'm] appalled by the scale of the ongoing massacre in Lebanon," Melenchon stated in a post on X. 

He added: "Netanyahu is violating the sovereignty of states throughout the region with the complicity of Europe and the USA. The genocide in Gaza is spreading without limits."

In a follow-up post, Melenchon added that "the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah is one more step towards the invasion of Lebanon and general war".

"France no longer counts on the ground. Netanyahu's crimes will continue since they are unpunished. The danger is extreme for the region and the world," he added.
