USA’s Sincerity in Ceasefire Questioned as War Escalates – Latest Updates
Israel launched an air strike in Lebanon, resulting in dozens of casualties. In response, Hezbollah targeted Mossad’s base with a missile. Tensions are escalating in the region as the Israeli Chief of General Staff expressed preparations for a potential land attack maneuver against Lebanon.
Tepav Foreign Policy Program Director Gülru Gezer commented on Israel’s actions, stating that the country aims to eliminate perceived threats in the region to secure its own safety. Gezer warned that as long as Israel continues with this approach, conflict with groups like Hamas and Hezbollah will persist, potentially leading to further escalations.
Amidst the escalating tensions, a 21-day emergency ceasefire call has been issued by 10 countries, including the USA and France, on the Israel-Lebanon border. Questions arise regarding the sincerity of the USA’s call for ceasefire, given its support for Israel amidst the conflict.
The international community, European countries, and Arab nations have recognized the severity of the situation and the lack of intention from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to halt the violence. Calls for necessary steps to prevent further escalation and promote peace in the region have been made.
As the situation unfolds, the possibility of a land attack on Lebanon and the rejection of ceasefire with Hezbollah looms large. The attacks in the region continue as tensions remain high.
