BEIRUT (Sputnik) - Lebanon intends to seek the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in an international court following the explosions of thousands of communications devices in Lebanon, Lebanese Minister for migrant affairs Issam Sharafeddine told Sputnik.
"After these crimes, we intend to demand an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Lebanon should file a complaint with the international court because these attacks fall under international law," Sharafeddine said.
The minister noted that the United States is biased in favor of Israel regarding the situation in the Middle East.
"They support it financially, logistically and militarily, using their veto power in international arenas. Israel's strength lies in its alliances, and the technologies it has were obtained from America and Europe, and it uses them against the Arab nations, including Lebanon and Palestine," the minister noted.
