"The inability of the world community to stop the hostilities in the Gaza Strip and the mass deaths of its residents has led to a sharp deterioration of the military and political situation in the entire region - from the border of Lebanon and Israel to the Red Sea," Lavrov said, TASS reported. "At the same time, the confrontation between Israel and Lebanon has reached a new dangerous level. The Middle East is once again on the threshold of a major regional war.
It is our common responsibility not to let it happen," he added. "We are working with all sides to normalize the situation," Lavrov said..
