US calls for Israel to end conflict as attacks continue in Gaza and Lebanon
Summary: U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Israel to end its war with Hamas and focus on bringing hostages home. This comes as Israeli forces continue their attacks in Gaza and southern Lebanon, where over 42,000 Palestinians have reportedly died.
Blinken stated that Israel has achieved most of its strategic goals in Gaza, especially after the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. He emphasized the need for humanitarian aid in Gaza and outlined steps to improve conditions there.
In Lebanon, Israeli air strikes have intensified, killing over 2,500 people and displacing more than 1.2 million. The Israeli military confirmed the death of a key Hizbollah figure in a recent strike, while cross-border tensions continue to escalate.
