UN Security Council urges Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon

The United Nations Security Council convened to address rising tensions in Lebanon. Israel had recently threatened to attack southern Beirut. Council members called for Israel to pull back its forces from southern Lebanon. The appeal reflects worries about a wider regional conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump later said a de‑escalation had been reached. Trump reported that Israel and Hezbollah agreed not to attack each other. The reported pact aims to prevent further fighting along the border. Analysts will monitor how the agreement is implemented and any next diplomatic steps.
