What is Council News?

Findings of the Investigation

A preliminary UN probe has found both Israel and likely Hezbollah responsible for the deaths of peacekeepers. The investigation provides new evidence regarding accountability for specific incidents.

Israel's Northern Border

Some Israelis on the northern border are vowing to stay after fleeing past Hezbollah fighting.

Ceasefire Conditions

Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that Israel backs President Trump's two-week pause on Iran strikes, provided Tehran reopens vital shipping lanes and halts regional attacks. Netanyahu stressed that this ceasefire explicitly excludes Lebanon, indicating continued operations on that front. This stance contrasts with Iran's broader peace proposal. The two-week pause requires Iran to halt regional attacks.
