British FM calls for Israel to end Lebanon operation, says Hezbollah must disarm
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBritish Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper calls on Israel and Hezbollah to respect a failed ceasefire in Lebanon amid an escalation in fighting between the two sides following several weeks of reduced conflict.
In particular, she says Israel’s advance deeper into southern Lebanon “must end,” saying it has “killed and displaced civilians, destroyed infrastructure, and eroded space for diplomacy.”
Hezbollah, Cooper says, “must end attacks on Israel and disarm.”
“All sides must respect the ceasefire and engage with negotiations in good faith,” she adds.
