U.N. Envoy Calls for Israeli Ceasefire in Lebanon

C-SPAN: Muhannad Hadi, a United Nations envoy for the Middle East peace process, called for an Israeli ceasefire in Lebanon during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council in New York City. He said the humanitarian situation in and near Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, was deteriorating. Mr. Hadi’s call was followed by a statement from Robert Wood, the alternate U.S. representative to the U.N., who said a ceasefire deal was within reach, and said the U.S. continued to reject any Israeli calls for expansion of settlements in the West Bank or establishment of any in the Gaza Strip.
