The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, expressed deep concern over the recent escalation of events in Beirut within the last 24 hours. Guterres emphasized the urgent need for all parties involved to halt the cycle of violence and step back from the brink to prevent further conflict.
Guterres stressed that the people of Lebanon, Israel, and the wider region cannot afford to be dragged into an all-out war. He called for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza and the unconditional release of all hostages to de-escalate tensions.
