The EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell calls for an 'immediate ceasefire' in the Israel-Hezbollah war while on a visit to Beirut for talks. Borrell emphasizes the need for the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which requires that the Lebanese Armed Forces be the only force with arms in southern Lebanon. The resolution has been largely unenforced, allowing Hezbollah to build up its arsenal. Borrell expresses concern over the escalating conflict and the potential collapse of Lebanon.
