WASHINGTON, April 14 (Reuters) – Canada, the UK and other countries condemned the killings of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon in the conflict between Israel and the Hezbollah and called for an end to hostilities.
“Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, Sierra Leone, Switzerland and the United Kingdom remain deeply concerned by the worsening humanitarian situation and displacement crisis in Lebanon,” the countries said in a joint statement issued on Tuesday.
The statement comes after the deaths of three peacekeepers last month that the UN said in preliminary findings were due to an Israeli tank projectile and an improvised explosive device most likely placed by Hezbollah.
