Lebanon abandoned by international community, says ex-PM
BEIRUT — Lebanon’s prime minister at the time of its last war with Israel in 2006 has said his country has been abandoned by the international community.Fouad Siniora said it was unacceptable to leave Lebanon to fall, and there was a lack of initiative when it came to trying to restore peace."We are now in a very difficult situation that requires real effort locally, as well on the Arab side and internationally."You can push things -- sometimes to the brink of falling -- in a major catastrophe without really realizing what it means later on."It's happening at a time when the American administration is so busy with the elections."And we are unable to elect a president, because some groups in the country, particularly Hezbollah, have been insisting that they want...

European leaders repeat calls for Gaza ceasefire on first anniversary of Hamas attack
BRUSSELS — The 7 October Hamas incursion into southern Israel left more than 1,000 people dead and sparked a year of war which has devastated much of the Gaza Strip.There has been some early reaction from European leaders on the first anniversary of the Hamas incursion into Israel, which sparked the ongoing war in Gaza.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the Hamas attacks, which saw 1,200 Israelis killed and 250 others taken hostage, were an example of "unspeakable savagery" that could not be justified."The European Union stands with all the innocent people whose lives have been shattered to the core since that fateful day," she said in a statement.She reiterated her call for a ceasefire in the Strip and the unconditional release of the Israelis...
