Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, has urgently called for a United Nations resolution that demands an “immediate” ceasefire with Israel. He expressed profound concern over Israel’s ongoing military actions against civilians, particularly highlighting a recent attack that resulted in the deaths of 139 individuals in a single day, all of whom were civilians. Mikati questioned the moral implications of these strikes, asking, “Where is the humanity? What reality are we living in?” He also condemned the Israeli attack on United Nations peacekeeping forces in southern Lebanon, labeling it a “denounced crime.”Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, has urgently called for a United Nations resolution that demands an “immediate” ceasefire with Israel.

In a separate but related context, Iranian President Pezeshkian echoed Mikati’s concerns, stating that Israel must cease its actions against innocent civilians. He emphasized that Israel’s military operations in the Middle East are being supported by Western nations, specifically the United States and the European Union. Pezeshkian made these remarks during an interview with a Russian state television reporter on the sidelines of an international conference held in Turkmenistan.
The international response to the situation has included condemnation from Italy and China regarding Israel’s military actions against United Nations peacekeepers in Lebanon. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto asserted that Israeli forces acted unlawfully by targeting positions used by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). He characterized the incident as a possible “war crime,” stating, “This was not a mistake and not an accident. It could constitute a war crime and represented a very serious violation of international humanitarian law.” Crosetto also mentioned that he had reached out to his Israeli counterpart to voice his protest and had summoned the Israeli ambassador to Italy for an explanation, which had yet to be provided.

China, too, expressed its disapproval of the attacks on UNIFIL, conveying “grave concern and strong condemnation” regarding the actions of the Israeli Defense Forces. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning referenced the injuries sustained by UNIFIL personnel as a result of the attacks, emphasizing the need for accountability and protection for peacekeepers.
In the ongoing conflict, reports have emerged of Israeli helicopters bombing the center of Rafah, a city in southern Gaza. Local sources have indicated that at least ten Palestinians have been killed in various Israeli operations across Gaza since dawn, highlighting the severity of the situation.
The UN Secretary-General has also condemned the Israeli attack that targeted UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, reinforcing the message that these personnel must be safeguarded. He noted that escalating conflict in the Middle East poses a significant threat to global security. This condemnation followed an Israeli assault on UNIFIL, which resulted in two peacekeepers being wounded, with an earlier incident injuring two Indonesian peacekeepers as well.

As tensions continue to rise in the region, the urgency for diplomatic intervention and a ceasefire has become increasingly critical. The cycle of violence, particularly affecting civilians, has prompted leaders and international organizations to call for immediate action to prevent further escalation and loss of life. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing developments and international responses shaping the landscape of the conflict.
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Mikati’s remarks reflect not only the pain and suffering endured by civilians in conflict zones but also the broader implications of international politics and alliances in the ongoing crisis. As various nations weigh in, the call for an immediate ceasefire underscores the need for humanitarian considerations and respect for international law, which are often sidelined in the heat of military engagements.
The repercussions of this conflict are felt far beyond the immediate geographic area, as global leaders and international organizations grapple with the complexities of a situation rooted in historical grievances, national identities, and geopolitical interests. The interplay of local and international dynamics creates a challenging environment for achieving lasting peace, highlighting the importance of dialogue and cooperation among nations.
