Possible Israeli ground assault in Lebanon sparks concerns | DW News

Israel has carried out new strikes against Lebanon, despite a US-led call for a temporary ceasefire. A joint statement urging a 21-day truce was issued by the US, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and other countries, following talks on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Top Israeli ministers have rejected calls for a cease-fire in Lebanon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hasn't formally responded to the US-France-led proposal but has ordered the army to continue fighting the Hezbollah militant group with "full force."

Not one single word about the hostages

[johnaidoo]

The UN is entertaining hesboallah to have their own way.

[ragesmirk]

Why Lebanse talking about Gaza? They need to think about themselves 🤔

[realJeffDunham]

Lebanon needs a stronger state to expel Iranian influence

[mdebashisroy]

Israel you stop the war for 15 days and allow Iran to send arms to Lebanon. What a joke 🤣😂😅

[fondalaking]

Why give terrorists a chance to strengthen itself, intent on unleashing more terror?

[kevinporter]

Hamas have refused a ceasefire and no one forced Hezbollah to fire over 8000 rockets into northern Israel. I wonder what the UK would have done if the Irish Republic had fired the same amount of ordinance into Northern Ireland in support of the IRA?

[josephmarak]

Whose religion teaches to lie to infidels in surah Taqiya?

[KETUPONG-pe]

Those ceasefire will enable Hezbollah to regroup & rearm. So Israel wants no ceasefire with Hezbollah.

[angelito]

What truce? Truce to the terrorist? Rediculous

[msemakweli-wklg]

Those tunnels would be juicier to flood than those in Gaza. The Litani suddenly becomes an underground river.

[ayhechu]

Ceasefire is not on the vocabularies of terrorists. Ceasefire for them means that the opposite army stops firing but not them.

[Jacob-rw]

No half measures, didn't work in 2006. Why would it work again.

[ceooflonelinessinc.]

No ceasefire! When Lebanon attacked Israel, nobody cared, now they do? Hypoc

[jccarriere]

The people in charge of keeping resolution 1701 in Lebanon, failed to keep it functional.

[splicecentral]

When lebanon poured thousands of unguided rocletsninto communities in israel no one batted an eye. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

[ironsales]

Why is the world not putting pressure on Iran? We know they are behind this problem

[kikoph]

US must pressure Lebanon and Iran to stop Hezbollah instead of pressuring Israel to stop depending its citizens

[GIUL]

Hezbollah attacked Israel, so Isreal gets to choose the cease fire.
There's no Tap-Out on this one.

[mikehinson]

This is what happens when the people side with terrorist.. they are the ones who suffer unfortunately.
