Lebanese MPs call for more international complaints over Israeli attacks

Beirut – Lebanese lawmakers have urged the government to step up its efforts at the international level in response to repeated Israeli attacks, particularly in southern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire reached in November 2024.

The call came during a session of the parliamentary Human Rights Committee, chaired by MP Michel Moussa, who stressed that deputies want more complaints to be filed before international bodies such as the United Nations, the Human Rights Council, and international tribunals.

Moussa explained that the committee reviewed a recent Amnesty International report documenting violations of international law by Israel, including the killing of journalists, the use of white phosphorus, the destruction of homes, and incidents linked to explosive devices. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also presented an overview of complaints already submitted by Beirut.

Lawmakers urged that future submissions be more detailed and systematic, with the dual objective of halting the ongoing assaults and ensuring reparations for reconstruction. A recommendation will now be sent to the government to continue pressing the issue.

Since Hezbollah opened a “support front” in southern Lebanon on October 8, 2023, in the context of the Gaza war, the country has faced over a year of devastating conflict. Although the ceasefire of November 27, 2024, officially remains in place, violations occur almost daily, leaving many areas in ruins and prompting Lebanese officials to seek stronger international action.
