Lebanese PM accuses Israel of violating international law amid ongoing military operations
Lebanon's Prime Minister has accused Israel of violating international law during ongoing military operations across Lebanese territory, according to a France 24 interview with journalist Jad Shahrour of the Samir Kassir Foundation. Unlike recent Iran-Israel negotiations that produced a ceasefire, Lebanon remains an active battlefield with no diplomatic resolution in place. The conflict highlights asymmetries in international response and fragmented global narratives around Middle Eastern conflicts. The situation underscores ongoing regional instability affecting millions of Lebanese civilians and regional geopolitics.
