Nadim Houry Calls for US Arms Embargo to Halt Israel's Beirut Attacks

Nadim Houry, Executive Director of the Arab Reform Initiative, described the chaos and terror experienced during recent Israeli airstrikes on Beirut. Speaking to France 24, Houry recounted being on the phone with colleagues as approximately one hundred targets were struck within ten minutes. He argued that the violence in Lebanon could cease immediately if US President Donald Trump intervened by contacting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Specifically, Houry suggested that a clear message from the US stating it would no longer supply weapons to Israel would be sufficient to stop the attacks. The interview highlights the critical role of American military support in sustaining the conflict and offers a direct call for diplomatic intervention to de-escalate the situation.
