EU and U.S. Push for Ceasefire as Israel-Hezbollah Conflict Intensifies

Diplomatic efforts gain momentum as cross-border attacks escalate and civilian casualties mount in Lebanon and Israel.

• European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has called for an immediate ceasefire and the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 during his visit to Lebanon.
• The war between Israel and Hezbollah, which escalated in September, has resulted in over 3,670 deaths in Lebanon and displaced 1.2 million people, according to Lebanese health authorities.
• Hezbollah launched missile and drone strikes on southern Israel and Tel Aviv, while Israel conducted airstrikes in Lebanon, including one that killed a Lebanese soldier and injured 18 others.
• The U.S. and EU are mediating a potential ceasefire agreement, which would involve Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers securing southern Lebanon and the withdrawal of both Hezbollah and Israeli forces.
• The conflict, rooted in Hezbollah's solidarity with Hamas following the October 2023 Gaza attacks, continues to expand regional tensions and strain humanitarian resources.
