‘Stop the killing and destruction’: UN chief

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres addressed an emergency UN Security Council meeting on the burgeoning conflict in Lebanon after days of deadly Israeli attacks. Lebanon cannot become another Gaza, said the UN chief. “I implore the Council to work in lockstep to help put out this fire. The parties must immediately return to a cessation of hostilities… Civilians must be protected. Civilian infrastructure must not be targeted. The safety and security of all UN assets must be ensured. International law must be respected,” said Guterres. “To all sides let’s say in one clear voice: stop the killing and destruction, tone done the rhetoric and threats, and step back from the brink.” Guterres said an all-out war must be avoided “at all costs”.
