What have world leaders said about the Israel-Hezbollah conflict? | BBC News

Global officials have gathered in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly, where leaders called for Israel and Hezbollah to step back from the brink of all-out war.

US President Joe Biden gave his last ever United Nations speech as president, addressing the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The UN secretary general António Guterres said that Lebanon is on the brink of becoming a second Gaza, adding that the crisis has “become a non-stop nightmare.”

Deputy US Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood spoke to the BBC about the need for a diplomatic solution to de-escalate the Lebanon crisis.

Sad that our generation witnesses such dehumanization. And can't do anything about it.

[rodcamp]

My condolences for your loss BBC. It must be difficult to lose so many of your friends in Hamas and Hezbollah. Sad.

[zhongda]

UN is like a gathering where no one speaks the truth lol

[BradyDavis-mk]

I don't understand why they keep saying no one is interested in war? Obviously these people are definitely interested in war.

[wekurtz]

So is the UN under the false impression that Lebanon is the victim here? Remember how they attacked Israel on Oct 8th? What did they expect?

[RatumoJT]

apart from Lebanon becoming another Gaza, did Gunteres reprimand Hezbola to stop their misile strikes? Or who stops first?

[btruboff]

Anybody mention UNIFIL and what they’re supposed to be doing in Lebanon?

[Jordichurch]

My condolences for your heavy losses BBC.

[wekurtz]

Sorry about your little muslim darlings BBC. Maybe if they had parents that taught them forgivenss instead of hate, they'd be better.

[raingoff]

Its so funny any of my comments stating anything anti-propaganda are deleted

[LuzDoSol-yrbv]

The nerve of EUA to say, " We are working around the clock." What for?

[ikechukwuokafor]

So let's me get this straight, terrorists are allowed to start wars but when the aggrieved country responds it's escalation?

[lennarthallberg]

Not much difference between Al Jazeera and BBC anymore, sad to say.

[jfern]

Lebanon can stop this right now, but they choose not to, they choose their own path forward.. Why should anybody care if this is what they want?

[rathy_v]

Why BBC not coverage Jordan King speech????

[Gamla]

No matter what, Israel is simply not allowed to defend itself. This world is sick.

[hourbee]

Israel is liberating Lebanon from Iranian colonialism

[skinny]

BBC in a nutshell - We are angry that america is the world police, now we are angry that they are not the world police... Credibility = 0
