Lebanon must not become another Gaza Strip, says UN chief

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said on Wednesday (25) that Lebanon cannot become another Gaza and called for an end to hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

“Let us say with one clear voice: Stop the killing and destruction. Refuse the rhetoric and threats. Step back from the brink. All-out war must be avoided at all costs,” Guterres told the 15 members of the UN Security Council.

Israel’s new offensive against Hezbollah has fueled fears that nearly a year of conflict between Israel and the Hamas group in Gaza could destabilize the Middle East.
