Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has stated that any ceasefire in the Middle East must include Lebanon, as the humanitarian situation there continues to deteriorate. This call comes amid Israel's largest military assault on Lebanon since the conflict with Hezbollah began, resulting in at least 254 deaths and 837 injuries. Albanese's remarks contrast with the stance of Israel and the Trump administration, which claim Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire discussions. In a related development, actor George Clooney has criticized Trump's threats against Iran, labeling them a war crime. The White House responded dismissively, attacking Clooney's film career instead of addressing the substance of his comments. The situation remains tense as international leaders express their concerns over the escalating violence in the region.
