Hey amigos, big news from the Big Apple! 🗽 The UN General Assembly just wrapped up its 79th session's general debate, and things got real. UNGA President Philemon Yang sent out a heartfelt plea for peace in the Middle East. He's calling on Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah to slam the brakes and agree to a ceasefire ASAP.
In his powerful closing remarks, Yang didn't mince words. \"The world has seen an extremely dramatic escalation of violence between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon in the past few days,\" he warned. \"As we speak, peace in the Middle East is hanging delicately on a shoestring! There is pervasive tension and uncertainty in the region.\"
He stressed the urgency: \"The world must not allow an all-out war to happen in this volatile region.\" 😰
Yang urged everyone with influence to step up. \"I call on all those with influence on the parties to demand an immediate ceasefire and dialogue,\" he said. He also appealed to countries sending weapons to the region to chill out and \"give peace a chance.\"
Looks like it's time for the global community to rally for peace ✌️. Let's hope the message gets through and cooler heads prevail.
