French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna has urged all parties including Israel to “deescalate” on the volatile Israel-Lebanon border where tensions have risen amid the Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, AFP reports.

“The risk of escalation remains … and if things were to spiral out of control, I don’t think anyone would benefit, and I say this to Israel too,” she said on a visit to the Shura military base in central Israel.

“This call for caution and deescalation applies to everyone.”
