Iran Press/West Asia: The group condemned the escalation in the Lebanese and Palestinian territories and warned of the serious repercussions of this escalation.
It called on all parties to exercise self-restraint.
PGCC also stressed the need to implement the UNSC Resolution 1701 to restore stability along southern Lebanon’s border.
The Council reaffirmed its support for a 21-day ceasefire plan between Israel and Hezbollah put forward by the US and several other countries last week.
It called for an “immediate and permanent” ceasefire in Gaza, and the release of all captives and detainees. At the same time, it stressed the importance of opening crossings to allow humanitarian aid into the Strip.
Tensions in the region, especially in Lebanon, have intensified after the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the general director of Lebanon's Hezbollah.
As a result of Israeli attacks on Lebanon in the last 24 hours at least 48 people were killed and 85 wounded, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said.
