'Israeli war crimes will not stop unless Netanyahu is held accountable,' says Safadi

Ayman Safadi, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, tweeted about the ongoing Israeli Occupation and its continued war crimes.

In his statement, Safadi emphasized that the crimes committed by the occupation in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon will persist unless Israeli Occupation Prime Minister Netanyahu and his radical extremist ministers are held accountable.

He stated, "Israel will not stop its war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon unless Netanyahu and his radical extremist ministers are held accountable. They would not have been able to launch all these aggressions, including against UNIFIL units, had it not been for the impunity with which the international community continues to provide them, and the weapons that many countries are still sending to them."

He added, "A year after the war, the massacres and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and with thousands displaced, killed, and injured in the West Bank and Lebanon—including journalists, humanitarian workers, Lebanese soldiers, and UNIFIL members—the Security Council has no argument for not fulfilling its duties. It has to lift the impunity from Israel and to ban all weapons sales to it."

Safadi urged, "Countries that truly want an end to the dangerous regional escalation and seek peace and security in the Middle East must immediately stop supplying Israel with the weapons it is using in its aggressions."

He also called for the activation of Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, stating, "Chapter 7 must be enacted to force Israel to comply with international law and immediately end all its illegal wars. Otherwise, this radical Israeli government will further undermine the credibility of international law and institutions, and drag the region deeper into the abyss of an all-out regional war, whose consequences will reverberate far beyond the borders of the region."
