Israel's Foreign Minister has called upon the United Nations Security Council to condemn the recent Hezbollah attack on the Haifa region in northern Israel. In a letter addressed to the current council president, the Minister urged for strong condemnation of the attack, attributing it to Hezbollah's actions under the guidance of its Iranian supporter.
The attack, which saw Israel's Iron Dome intercepting several rockets above Haifa, has heightened tensions in the region. The letter comes amidst world leaders gathering in New York for the UN General Assembly, following a weekend of bombings between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The situation has marked the most intense exchanges of fire between the two sides since October 7, with concerns rising about the potential for the crisis to escalate into a regional conflict. Despite Israel's repeated calls for condemnation, a clear plan to prevent further escalation remains elusive.
As the focus shifts to the escalating tensions in New York, it remains uncertain whether the US will push for the UN Security Council to condemn Hezbollah's actions. Requests for comments from the US State Department and the US Mission to the UN regarding the Minister's letter have not been immediately answered.
