EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell expresses regret that no power can stop Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's determination to crush militants in Gaza and Lebanon. Borrell supports an initiative for a ceasefire in Lebanon, but Israel has ignored it and continues to strike Hezbollah targets. Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel will not stop until Hezbollah is destroyed, similar to their campaign against Hamas in Gaza. Borrell calls for diversifying diplomacy from the United States, as they have been unsuccessful in sealing a truce in Gaza. Netanyahu vows to achieve Israel's objectives against Hezbollah in a defiant speech to the United Nations.
