Palestinian Freedom Movement: Aggression on Lebanon confirms barbarity of Zionist enemy
Gaza – Saba: The Palestinian Freedom Movement condemned the Zionist aggression on the southern suburb of Beirut on Thursday evening on Friday. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the movement considered this aggression a blatant assault on Lebanon's sovereignty, supported by American cover and unjustified international silence. The movement stated: "This brutal aggression on Lebanon confirms the extent of the barbarity of this enemy, its lack of respect for the international community, its laws, and its norms. It also stated that it is an entity that does not heed any sanctions for its crimes in the region." It viewed this attack on the southern suburb as "a step forward from the war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is mired in internal conflicts ravaging him and his government, to open the door to a new conflict that will alleviate the pressure threatening his throne and authority. In doing so, it confirms his disregard for the blood of innocent children and women for his own personal interests. He is a war criminal par excellence." The Palestinian Liberation Movement affirmed the unity, sovereignty, and integrity of the Republic of Lebanon, and its right to respond by all means and methods, noting that the Zionist enemy knows and understands nothing but the language of force because it lacks morals, covenants, and does not recognize agreements.
