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.
In the meantime, Iranian leaders stated Israel have to be held accountable for its actions.
As the chance of battle within the wider area grows, can the United Nations fulfill its mission and keep away from all-out struggle?
