The United Nations (UN) has expressed deep concern over the recent Israeli strike in Beirut. The UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon emphasized the need for both Lebanon and Israel to pursue diplomatic solutions to end hostilities. The Special Coordinator stressed that military actions are not the answer to resolving conflicts.
The UN is actively engaging with key stakeholders to address the situation. The organization is calling for calm and urging both parties to adhere to UN Security Resolution 1701, which brought an end to the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Tensions between Israel and Lebanon have escalated in recent days, with cross-border exchanges of fire occurring since October 7. The UN's plea for de-escalation and a return to diplomatic efforts underscores the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the region.
