Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib says a flurry of diplomatic activity is under way to contain an expected Israeli response against Hezbollah, Al Jazeera reports.
The United States, France and others were trying to prevent a regional conflict, he said in an interview yesterday night with local broadcaster al-Jadeed.
“Israel will escalate in a limited way and Hezbollah will respond in a limited way […] These are the assurances we’ve received,” Bou Habib said.
