Beirut: Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has strongly condemned the killing of journalist Amal Khalil, calling it a clear war crime.
He said that preventing aid teams from reaching the affected
area is also part of the same crime. He said in a statement on the social media
platform X that the targeting of journalists in southern Lebanon while carrying
out their professional duties can no longer be seen as isolated incidents.
Nawaf Salam said that this is a regular and proven practice
that is condemned under Lebanese and international laws and principles. The
Lebanese Prime Minister said that Lebanon will do everything possible to raise
these crimes in international courts.
Human rights activists have called on the Lebanese government to join the Rome Statute and submit alleged Israeli violations to the International Criminal Court.
