Lebanese Ambassador Criticizes Israel for Ongoing Attacks
The Lebanese Ambassador to Canada, Hadi Hachem, condemned Israel for its military actions in Lebanon following a series of explosions that killed at least nine people and injured many others. Hachem accused Israel of violating international law and escalating regional tensions during an emergency session of the UN General Assembly.
Hachem highlighted that Lebanon’s sovereignty has been under attack since October 8, 2023, with ongoing escalations by Israel. The recent explosions of pager devices across Lebanon were described as a war crime, resulting in casualties and injuries. Iran also condemned the attacks and expressed solidarity with Lebanon.
The exchange of cross-border attacks between Hezbollah and Israel, along with the Israeli offensive on Gaza, has heightened tensions in the region. The situation remains volatile, with calls for accountability and justice for the victims.
This escalating conflict underscores the urgent need for diplomatic solutions to prevent further violence and protect the civilians in the region.
