Benjamin Netanyahu tells UN chief to move peacekeepers in Lebanon out of 'harm's way' immediately - October 13, 2024

"Mr [UN] Secretary-General, get the UNIFIL forces out of harm's way. It should be done right now, immediately," says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. His call to UN chief Antonio Guterres comes a day after the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) repeated its refusal to withdraw from the border area after five of its members were wounded in the Israel-Hezbollah war.
