BREAKING: Lebanese Minister Calls For International Intervention, Ceasefire—-Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib on Thursday called for an end to the violence in the Middle East, in an appeal to the UN General Assembly in New York.

“This is a situation that requires international intervention on an urgent basis before the situation spirals out of control, with a domino effect, making this crisis impossible to contain,” Bou Habib said in his address at the assembly.

“The future of our people and our prosperity are imperilled.”

He also called on Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia to take “all possible measures” to ensure that a ceasefire proposal is accepted.

Following months of cross-border skirmishes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, which says it acts out of solidarity with Hamas in Gaza, Israel began an intense aerial campaign to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Monday – with the region now on the brink of all-out war.

Hundreds have been killed and tens of thousands of people displaced in Lebanon since Israel began its massive bombardment four days ago.

International efforts are underway to negotiate a ceasefire, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied any plan had been agreed to and vowed to keep hitting Hezbollah with “full force.”

JUST IN: Lagos Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa Impeached As Mojisola Meranda Sworn In As First Female Speaker [VIDEO]

JUST IN: Lagos Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa Impeached As Mojisola Meranda Sworn In As First Female Speaker [VIDEO]—-Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday impeached Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, accusing him of multiple statutory and financial infractions.

Mr Obasa was subsequently replaced by his deputy Lasbat Meranda. Mrs Meranda, who represents Apapa Constituency 1, was also a former chief whip of the House.

The removal came days after The Gazette reported how Mr Obasa oversaw the withdrawal of N43.5 billion for back up vehicles for lawmakers, as well as other controversial activities.

Mr Obasa, 52, was first elected Speaker on June 8, 2015, resuming office alongside former one-term governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Repeated charges of fraud and political thuggery have marked his speakership. In 2020, Peoples Gazette published a series of investigations detailing how Mr Obasa diverted Lagos funds to his personal firms and bank accounts. Sahara Reporters at the time also uncovered Mr Obasa’s assets across Lagos.

He was invited to be questioned by the EFCC after the anti-graft office became overwhelmed by media reports of Mr Obasa’s mismanagement. He denied all allegations, and no charges were filed after he met with detectives.
