UN Strongly Denounces Israeli Attacks in Lebanon, Pushes for Peace Talks
“The United Nations strongly condemns the strikes by Israel across Lebanon that resulted in significant civilian casualties. The UN strongly condemns the loss of civilian lives,” UN spokesperson Farhan Haq said at a news briefing.
Haq stressed the need for negotiations, stating, “We continue to call on all sides to avail themselves of diplomatic channels, cease hostilities, and recommit to the full implementation of Security Council resolution 1701.”
Referencing the ceasefire between the US and Iran, he added, “The ceasefire between the US and Iran offers an opportunity to prevent further loss of lives between Lebanon and Israel.”
“There’s no military solution to the conflict,” Haq said, emphasizing the importance of talks aimed at achieving a permanent ceasefire and a long-term resolution.
He also warned of risks to UN personnel in the region, urging all actors to “uphold their obligations under international law and to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property at all times.”
