UN chief demands Israel end occupation in southern Lebanon
17 January 2025 12:36 GMT
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for Israel to end its "continued occupation" and "military operations" in southern Lebanon, following a ceasefire in November that aimed to halt fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
Guterres stressed that Israel's military presence in the UNIFIL area and its ongoing operations in Lebanese territory violate UN Resolution 1701, which was intended to end the 2006 conflict between the two sides.
He urged for these actions to cease immediately, addressing members of the UN peacekeeping force during his visit.
