Lebanon believes that the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah can only be ended by US intervention, media reports.

Rocket attacks from Israel and Hezbollah have raised fears of a possible war in the Middle East, prompting Lebanon to say only the United States can help end the fighting, Reuters reports.

“Lebanon is on the brink. The Lebanese, the Israelis and the world cannot allow Lebanon to become another Gaza,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

US President Joe Biden also addressed the UN General Assembly and said that “full-scale war is in no one's interest.”

Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib called Biden's speech “not promising” and stressed that only the United States can change the situation in the Middle East and Lebanon.

“The United States is the key to our salvation,” he told the UN General Assembly.
