00:00Yesterday night, finally, after hours of discussion, we agreed on a 27 statement supporting UNIFIL.
00:11The 27 members agreed on asking Israel to stop attacking UNIFIL.
00:18Many European members are participating in this mission.
00:24Their work is very important.
00:26It's completely unacceptable attacking United Nations troops.
00:32It's quite evident that we should be against Israeli attacks against UNIFIL,
00:39especially because our soldiers are there.
00:43Many European soldiers are there.
00:46So I would appreciate if member states could reach an agreement on that quicker.
