Thousands of Australians in Lebanon are being warned to leave immediately as rocket exchanges with Israel narrow the window to escape safely. Foreign Minister Penny Wong expressed alarm at the escalation of the conflict and called for Australians to get out, while spearheading a push to better protect humanitarian workers in conflict zones.
The United States does not support a cross-border escalation between Israel and Hezbollah and has sent a small number of extra troops to the region as the security situation deteriorates. Greece’s Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis said not enough international pressure had been applied to Israel to end the war in Gaza and prevent an escalation with Lebanon. His nation is pushing for European Union nations to temporarily accept injured and traumatised children.
