EU Foreign Ministers Meet on Mideast Crisis
European Union foreign ministers are trying to agree on a draft statement calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon. But diplomats at the talks in Brussels say Britain and Germany have rejected a draft that calls for an immediate ceasefire. They say the two countries have proposed a call for an eventual cessation of hostilities.
Finnish Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja said Israel's decision to intensify the offensive against Hezbollah will only increase support for the militant group. Finland is the current president of the 25-member European Union.
France has led calls for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Britain has resisted, calling instead for an international force in Lebanon to make sure a truce is sustainable.
Earlier Tuesday during a visit to Beirut, Iran's foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, criticized the United Nations Security Council for its failure to stop the fighting.
