Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has again called for a cease-fire in Lebanon, as Israel’s attacks on the capital Beirut have escalated.

“We’ve joined with the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and many other countries to call for a cease-fire in Lebanon,” Wong said in an interview with Sky News Australia, which was broadcast on Sunday.
