Russia’s U.N. envoy Vassily Nebenzia sharply criticized Israel’s military actions in Lebanon, claiming the U.S.-mediated ceasefire had become a “smokescreen for creeping aggression.” Speaking at the United Nations, Nebenzia accused Israel of expanding its zone of control, flattening settlements and pursuing what he called a “scorched-earth strategy.” He argued the situation in Lebanon increasingly resembles Gaza, with occupation control and civilian displacement fears growing. Nebenzia also pointed to Israel’s presence at Beaufort Castle and warned that Israeli military ambitions may now stretch beyond the Litani River.#Russia #Israel #Lebanon #UN #Nebenzia #MiddleEast #IsraelLebanon #BreakingNews #Ceasefire #Gaza #BeaufortCastle #Geopolitics
