Lebanon will file a complaint before UN the Security Council against Israel for recently using Lebanese airspace to attack Syria.

On Monday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants issued a statement "strongly condemning" the recent Israeli aggression and the "Israeli enemy's use of Lebanese airspace to bombard Syrian territory."

The Ministry warned against the consequences of this aggressive behavior and the continued violations of Lebanese sovereignty and international laws.

The Ministry disclosed that it would "file a complaint to the Security Council, asking it to seriously intervene to put an end to these ongoing Israeli violations."

For his part, a member of the Development and Liberation Bloc, MP Kassem Hashem, said the attack on Syria from Lebanon's airspace was an attack on Lebanon and a violation of national sovereignty.

He pointed out that the repeated violations require the Lebanese government to file a complaint to the United Nations.

In turn, MP Hassan Murad called on the government to submit an urgent complaint to the Security Council.

Murad indicated that the enemy is violating Lebanon's airspace to practice its terrorism in Syria, calling on the authorities to submit an urgent complaint to the Security Council rejecting the Zionist violations and use of Lebanese airspace to attack Syria.

Also, Vice-President of the Supreme Islamic Shiite Council, Sheikh Ali al-Khatib, condemned "the Zionist attacks on Syria and the violation of Lebanese airspace."

Khatib said it is double aggression against the two countries, urging the UN to take deterrent measures against the Zionist enemy.

He asserted that statements of condemnation and recording the violations of UN Resolution 1701 are not enough.

Khatib warned that this dangerous aggression identifies with the blockade, sanctions, and the policy of starving the Syrian and Lebanese peoples, noting that the situation requires solidarity, cooperation, and increasing coordination between the two countries.

Furthermore, the central leadership of Syria's Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party in Lebanon condemned the Israeli attack and called on Lebanon to file a complaint to the UN Security Council about Israel's violation of Lebanese sovereignty.

The European Union on Monday condemned new Israeli measures to tighten control of the West Bank and pave the way for more settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, AFP reported.

"The European Union condemns recent decisions by Israel's security cabinet to expand Israeli control in the West Bank. This move is another step in the wrong direction," EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni told journalists.

The atrocities unleashed on El-Fasher in Sudan's Darfur region last October were a "preventable human rights catastrophe", the United Nations said Monday, warning they now risked being repeated in the neighbouring Kordofan region.

 

"My office sounded the alarm about the risk of mass atrocities in the besieged city of El-Fasher for more than a year ... but our warnings were ignored," UN rights chief Volker Turk told the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

 

He added that he was now "extremely concerned that these violations and abuses may be repeated in the Kordofan region".

The General Secretariat of the Arab League strongly condemned decisions by Israeli occupation authorities to impose fundamental changes on the legal and administrative status of the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in the West Bank, describing them as a dangerous escalation and a flagrant violation of international law, international legitimacy resolutions, and signed agreements, SPA reported.

In a statement, the Arab League said the measures include facilitating the confiscation of private Palestinian property and transferring planning and licensing authorities in the city of Hebron and the area surrounding the Ibrahimi Mosque to occupation authorities.

It warned of the serious repercussions of these actions on the rights of the Palestinian people and on Islamic and Christian holy sites.

The statement reaffirmed the Arab League’s firm support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of their independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
