The exploding-pager attack in Lebanon is yet another Israeli attempt to provoke a wider Middle East war.
It comes after several previous, highly-inflammatory Israeli actions aimed to do the same thing:
The New Zealand government has previous urged all parties to refrain from actions that would escalate Israel’s war on Gaza into a wider Middle East war.
“With this latest attack our government must condemn Israel” says PSNA National Chair John Minto. “Israel is an out-of-control rogue state which is an imminent danger to peace and security the world over”
“Many times the government has urged all sides to step back from a wider war but Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu is determined to expand death and destruction across the region”
“Netanyahu’s doing this to avoid the collapse of his far-right government and his looming trial on bribery and corruption charges.”
“Pious words from our Prime Minister will be ineffective. Condemnation and sanctions against this pariah state are long overdue”
