UK condemns Israeli minister over Lebanon remarks

The United Kingdom has condemned inflammatory remarks made by an Israeli minister concerning Lebanon, with the UK foreign secretary criticizing the statements as destabilizing amid already high regional tensions. The comments come during a fragile ceasefire period in southern Lebanon, where recent exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces have threatened to reignite full-scale hostilities. The UK's rebuke underscores growing international concern over rhetoric that could undermine diplomatic efforts to maintain the ceasefire.
