West Tells Iran To "Stand Down" Israel Attacks Threats As War Fears Mount

Israel and Hamas are set to come to the negotiating table in the next three days to broker a cease fire deal, and just ahead of that now, five Western countries have called on Iran and its allies to refrain from anticipated attacks on Israel in retaliation for the recent killings of senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah. The leaders of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy have issued a joint statement expressing their support for ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East and secure a ceasefire in the Israel Hamas war.
