Lebanese Prime Minister Prioritizes Documentation of Israeli War Crimes

Lebanese Prime Minister Emphasizes Documentation of Israeli War Crimes

Beirut, Lebanon – On Monday, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam highlighted the critical importance of documenting alleged Israeli war crimes and submitting these records to the United Nations. He announced plans to convene a special session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva to strengthen efforts in this area.

Efforts to Document Crimes

During a routine ministerial meeting, Salam confirmed a partnership with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, which will soon send a delegation to Lebanon to investigate reported Israeli violations. Following the meeting, Minister of Information Paul Marqas stated that relevant ministries are collaborating with international organizations, particularly the World Bank, to document the extensive destruction and losses through satellite imagery.

Marqas noted that each ministry is tasked with recording damages within its jurisdiction, focusing on both economic impacts and the destruction of villages. He also emphasized the human toll of Israeli attacks, which has resulted in:

  • 2,846 fatalities
  • 8,639 injuries

Security and Military Situation in Lebanon

In the same meeting, the Defense Minister addressed the current military situation, pointing out that Israel has established a permanent presence at the Khiam detention center, along with mobile units that infiltrate designated areas before withdrawing. He assured that the Lebanese Army is actively conducting operations along the Lebanese-Syrian border to combat smuggling and raids on farms used for drug production. These operations have occasionally resulted in armed confrontations, leading to casualties.

The meeting also explored the humanitarian and security needs of displaced individuals, seeking ways to secure essential support through coordination among the relevant ministries under the Prime Minister’s supervision. In a related context, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has called for increased pressure on Israel to cease its military actions in the south. He discussed recent developments with U.S. Ambassador Michel Aissa regarding the upcoming third Lebanese-American-Israeli meeting scheduled for this week in Washington.

It is noteworthy that President Aoun initiated a plan on March 9 to de-escalate Israeli aggression, which includes:

  • A complete ceasefire
  • Halting Israeli attacks
  • Supporting the Lebanese Army
  • Ensuring military control over tense areas and confiscating weapons
  • Initiating negotiations with Israel
