European nations say Israel, Hezbollah fighting 'must cease'

Eighteen European countries on Thursday urged Israel and Hezbollah to stop fighting as their latest conflict reached one month, and with fears over Israeli plans to control part of southern Lebanon post-war.

"Israeli military operations in Lebanon and Hezbollah's attacks must cease," the foreign ministers of the countries, including Italy, Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Ireland, said in a joint statement.

"We urge Israel to fully respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and call on all parties, both Hezbollah and Israel, to halt military action," the statement said.
