SECURITY: Western Leaders Criticise Israeli Military Action Around UN Facilities

SECURITY
EM BulletFixed Income BulletsHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsEmerging Market NewsForeign Exchange Bullets

US President Joe Biden, speaking at the White House on the US federal government response to Hurricanes Milton and Helene, has told reporters that he "absolutely, positively," will be telling Israel to avoid military action that could hit United Nations peacekeepers in Lebanon, as a series of Israeli strikes on UNIFL positions on Thursday and Friday pushed relations between Israel and the UN to new lows. 

  • Reuters reports that the governments of France, Italy, and Spain released a joint statement a few moments ago saying the, "attacks constitute a serious violation of the obligations of Israel under UN security council resolution 1701 and humanitarian international law." 
  • As the region remains braced for Israel's response to Iran, Sky News Arabia reporters, per a source: "Israeli response may include cyber attack on important Iranian facilities separate from military response."
  • Barack Ravid at Axios reports on X: "Israeli minister of defense Gallant spoke on the phone last night with Secretary of Defense Austin, briefed him on the Israeli cabinet meeting and discussed the Israeli plans for retaliation against Iran, sources with knowledge told me."
  • The Independent reports: "The Israeli military is asking that the peacekeeping force move 5 kilometers (3 miles) north to avoid being caught in the fighting between its troops and Hezbollah militants. That effectively would impede the peacekeeping force from doing its mission."
