The European Union’s foreign policy chief urges Israel to back a proposed ceasefire deal with Hezbollah, which he says has all the necessary security guarantees for Israel.
Speaking at a G7 Foreign Ministers meeting, Josep Borrell says there is no excuse for not implementing the deal with Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group.
“There is not an excuse for not implementing a ceasefire… No more excuses. No more additional requests. Stop this fighting. Stop killing people,” Borrell says.
Israel looks set to approve the plan for a ceasefire with Hezbollah later today. Israeli officials have stressed that they would be accepting a cessation of hostilities, not an end to the war with the terror group.
Since October 8, 2023, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the terror group saying it was doing so to support Palestinians in Gaza amid the war there, sparked by the Hamas onslaught on October 7.
