Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly amid increasing international calls for a ceasefire in the escalating conflict with Hezbollah. The situation has intensified following missile and drone strikes by Yemen's Houthi rebels targeting Israel, with Netanyahu confirming that Israel is prepared for a potential ground incursion into Lebanon. Civilian casualties in Lebanon have surged, with reports indicating around 700 deaths this week alone. Despite initial optimism for a ceasefire driven by a US-led initiative, Netanyahu's mixed messaging has dampened hopes for a resolution. Concurrently, the Israel-Gaza conflict continues to result in significant humanitarian crises, with tens of thousands dead in Gaza and widespread displacement. As tensions rise, fears of an all-out war grow, particularly following recent Israeli airstrikes that killed civilians in Lebanon.
