Germany is enormously concerned by the developments in Lebanon, said a government spokesperson in Berlin on Monday, and warned that ‌a major Israeli ‌ground offensive ‌would ⁠significantly worsen the ⁠already tense humanitarian situation in the region.

"A glance at this part ⁠of the war ‌zone ‌fills us ‌with concern because we ‌see preparations for a major Israeli ground offensive, which ‌would significantly worsen the already tense humanitarian ⁠situation ⁠in the region," said the spokesperson.

The spokesperson added that Germany welcomed efforts to restart talks between Israel and Lebanon.
