The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has begun preparing an urgent complaint to the United Nations Security Council following Israel's targeting of a patrol belonging to the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization, which resulted in four injuries, some of which are critical. The ministry condemns this "attack that violates international law and international humanitarian law, particularly regarding the targeting of peacekeepers among United Nations staff, after a series of assaults on journalists, paramedics, children, women, and civilians."
This incident against UN forces also reflects Israel's ongoing policy of not respecting international legitimacy and its representatives since 1948 and its persistent desire to undermine everything related to the work of this legitimacy, including its attempts to halt funding for UNRWA, aiming to eliminate the rights of the Palestinian people.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in the caretaker government, Abdullah Bouhabib, made a phone call to the commander of the peacekeeping forces in southern Lebanon, General Orlando Lazaro, expressing his condemnation of the incident and calling on "countries concerned with regional peace and security to ensure the safety and protection of United Nations personnel, civilian lives, and to intervene quickly to stop Israeli violations through the complete implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701."
