At the United Nations General Assembly, Lebanon's Foreign Minister issued a powerful warning: a ceasefire is urgently needed to prevent Israel's actions from igniting a devastating crisis in the Middle East. As tensions rise, the stakes for regional peace have never been higher. This is a call to action that cannot be ignored.

After Netanyahu rejected Biden’s peace plan with Hezbollah, Lebanon launched over 80 rockets, hitting Israel’s "Samson" base and "Meron" airbase. The Iron Dome failed to stop many rockets, causing fires in "Beria" near Safad and surrounding areas. Tensions have escalated dramatically, with the world anxiously awaiting Netanyahu's upcoming UN speech on Gaza. The situation raises concerns about a potential broader conflict in the Middle East.
