LFPME welcomes the ceasefire agreed between Israel and Lebanon yesterday. We ask the international community to use every diplomatic channel to hold all parties to this agreement. (1/5)

Since the escalation of Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon, more than 2,100 people have been killed and 2.1million displaced. Entire villages have been levelled in tactics that Israeli ministers themselves compare with the razing of Rafah and Beit Hanoun in Gaza. (2/5)

The £5m in humanitarian relief provided by the UK government to Lebanon is welcome, and it must continue to make it clear to the Israeli government that violence targeting civilian infrastructure is completely unacceptable and in breach of international humanitarian law. (3/5)

This 10 day ceasefire must pave the way to further talks and peaceful negotiation. We must continue to support the structures of international law and call for accountability of violations. No Palestinian, Lebanese or Israeli citizen is made safer by violent escalation. (4/5)
