Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called Thursday for an end to Israel's bombardment of neighboring Lebanon "before it collapses".

"Israel, pursuing expansionist policies, is bringing its dirty war into Lebanon.. Israeli attacks must end before the Lebanese state collapses," he said at a joint news conference in Ankara with his visiting German counterpart Johann Wadephul.

He is not aware that Lebanon started the war or he'd have a very different view. In any event, he can be constructive by negotiating a peace treaty between the two countries.
