Australia says Lebanon must be included in Middle East ceasefire

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters Thursday that the two-week ceasefire announced this week ‘‘is an important step forward.’’

‘‘Of course it is a fragile peace, but we want it to lead to an agreement,’’ Albanese said.

‘‘The Australian government also firmly believes that this has to apply to Lebanon as well. We want to see peace in this region,’’ Albanese added.
