Tensions are running high in the Middle East, with fears growing about a possible conflict between Iran and Israel.
Western powers, including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, have issued a joint statement urging Iran and its allies to avoid actions that could further escalate tensions.
The warning comes amid fears that Iran may retaliate against Israel in the next 24 hours due to the recent assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
The leaders of these Western countries emphasized the need for de-escalation and regional stability, calling on both Israel and Hamas to return to the negotiating table to work towards a ceasefire and the release of hostages.
Despite these international appeals for peace, the situation remains tense, with Hamas expressing its refusal to engage in new ceasefire talks unless the previous agreement is respected.
In a related development, tensions between Israel and Lebanon also rose, with Hezbollah firing 30 rockets into northern Israel, although no casualties were reported.
The overall mood in the region is fraught with potential conflict, with global leaders advocating restraint and diplomacy to prevent the situation from worsening.
