Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed grave concerns following the Israeli airstrike in Beirut that killed Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Qubaisi on September 24. Speaking to reporters as he attended the United Nations General Assembly, Sharif described the attack as "catastrophic" for global stability and called for an immediate ceasefire. The escalation has heightened fears of a full-blown conflict in the Middle East, particularly as both Israel and Hezbollah engage in cross-border attacks. According to Lebanon`s Health Minister, the ongoing offensive has resulted in 569 fatalities, including 50 children, and left 1,835 wounded. Sharif emphasized that only Washington could mediate an end to the violence. The U.N. Security Council is set to convene to address the situation, underscoring the international community`s urgency in managing the escalating crisis.
