The foreign ministers of Jordan, Egypt and Iraq have "condemned the Israeli aggression on Lebanon" in a joint statement and warned that Israel is pushing the region toward an "all-out war." The ministers met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York yesterday, where they urged the international community and the Security Council to "assume their relevant responsibilities to stop the war." "Israel bears full responsibility for this deterioration, which will have serious consequences for the entire region," they said Wednesday.
Stopping the "ongoing dangerous escalation" in the Middle East "begins with stopping the Israeli aggression on Gaza," the officials said.
Some background: Israel has vowed to speed up its military offensives against Hezbollah without reprieve as it executes a new war objective: to return tens of thousands of residents evacuated from their homes in the north due to cross-border attacks.

I also believe people in Lebanonese would like their living rooms back.
I was reading about Lebanon, and it was really nice. Christians and Sunni Muslims comprised the majority in the coastal cities; Shia Muslims were primarily based throughout southern Lebanon and in the Beqaa Valley in the east; and Druze and Christians populated the country's mountainous areas.

Then the "Palestinians" moved in ... and that was the end of the glorious age of Lebanon.

It's not the Israelis screaming "from the river to the sea."
Au contraire ...
An early Zionist slogan envisaged statehood extending over the two banks of the Jordan river, and when that vision proved impractical, it was substituted by the idea of a Greater Israel, an entity conceived as extending from the Jordan to the sea.[9][10] The Palestinian phrase has also been used by Israeli politicians. The 1977 election manifesto of the right-wing Israeli Likud party said: "Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."[11][12][13] Similar wording, such as referring to the area "west of the Jordan river", has also been used more recently by other Israeli politicians,[3] including Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on 18 January 2024.[14] Some countries have considered criminalizing Palestinian but not Israeli use of the phrase.[15][16]
