Szijjarto: Goal continues to be to avoid escalation in ME
The most important goal continues to be to avoid the escalation of the "worrying" situation in the Middle East, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Facebook on Friday, after phone talks with Abdallah Bou Habib, his Lebanese counterpart.
Szijjarto said the anti-terrorist operations must be prevented from escalating into a war between countries and called for every possible effort to prevent the opening of further fronts in Israel and its neighbourhood.
Szijjarto welcomed that the Lebanese government also had an interest in preventing an escalation.
