Israel has gone too far: Europeans call attack "disproportional act of war"
World powers issued calls for restraint amid fears Friday that the fiercest Israeli-Lebanese clashes in a decade could escalate into all-out war. France and Italy were more outspoken. French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy described the Israeli strikes on Lebanon as a “disproportionate act of war.”Italian Foreign Minister Massimo D’Alema said Rome had “the impression that this is a disproportionate and dangerous reaction in view of the consequences it could have.” Sweden, Denmark and Norway, the broker of the defunct Oslo peace accords for the Middle East, condemned both sides but suggested Israel’s actions were excessive. A similar message came from Switzerland.
