Egypt, Jordan and Iraq said Wednesday Israel is pushing the Middle East into an all-out war and called on the United Nations Security Council to intervene.
In a joint statement, the three countries’ foreign ministers affirmed that averting a regional war requires the cessation of “the Israeli aggression on Gaza.”
The ministers also condemned the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, and said that “Israel is pushing the region into an all-out war.”
The Security Council said it would meet on Wednesday to discuss the conflict which was intensifying across the region.
"Lebanon is at the brink. The people of Lebanon – the people of Israel – and the people of the world - cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza," UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
