Global Call for Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah

Countries worldwide, including key Arab nations, G7 members, and the European Union, urge a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. Despite Israel's rejection of a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasizes the global consensus for halting hostilities.

Countries around the world, including leading Arab nations, those in the G7 and the European Union, are urging for an immediate halt to hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah along Israel's northern border with Lebanon. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made this clear on Thursday.

In response to Israel's rejection of a U.S.-backed Lebanon ceasefire proposal, Blinken stated on MSNBC: "The world is speaking clearly for virtually all of the key countries in Europe and in the region on the need for the ceasefire."

Blinken added that he plans to engage with Israeli officials in New York later on Thursday to discuss the situation further.
