World leaders meet on the United Nations amid rising fears of all-out regional struggle.
The United Nations Common Meeting is convening in New York. Almost a 12 months into Israel’s struggle in Gaza, world leaders proceed to speak about ending the battle.
However as Israel launches its greatest assault on Lebanon in a long time – and the loss of life toll from Israel’s bombing of Gaza mounts – peace nonetheless appears elusive.
US President Joe Biden is among the many voices calling for a ceasefire, however different leaders have accused Washington of double requirements.
The USA has repeatedly blocked U.N. Safety Council efforts to comprise Israel.
