Israeli campaign in Lebanon could cause 'peace process to fail:' Merz

The continued Israeli military campaign in Lebanon could jeopardize peace talks expected between the United States and Iran over the war in the Middle East, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Thursday.

"We view the situation in southern Lebanon with particular concern," Merz said. "The severity with which Israel is waging war there could cause the peace process as a whole to fail, and that must not be allowed to happen."
