Briefly

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock urged Israel and Hezbollah to agree to a 21-day cease-fire during her speech at the United Nations, highlighting the detrimental effects of escalation on peace.
She expressed frustration over the lack of progress in achieving peace, stating, 'We are not giving up on seeking a political vision for Israelis and Palestinians to be able to live peacefully side by side.'
Baerbock emphasized, 'For me, resignation is simply not an option, because that would mean that the playbook of terrorism and extremism carries the day,' underscoring her commitment to peace.
The call for a cease-fire, supported by Western nations and other allies, aims to provide a diplomatic path forward, despite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s insistence on continued military actions.
