Pushing for ceasefire, Blinken calls on both Israel and Hezbollah ‘to stop firing’
At a news conference wrapping up a week of UN diplomacy, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken appeals again for a ceasefire in Lebanon after a major Israeli strike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut.
“The most important thing to do through diplomacy is to try first to stop firing in both directions, and then to use the time that we would have in such a ceasefire to see if we can reach a broader diplomatic agreement,” he says.
