Aoun urges international action over Israeli operations in South Lebanon
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called for international action to halt Israeli military operations in South Lebanon, saying the continued destruction of homes and villages constitutes a direct violation of human rights and international law. Speaking during a meeting with U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Trk, Aoun said Israel's ongoing demolition of homes and bulldozing of villages in South Lebanon amounted to 'a direct violation of human rights' and a clear breach of international laws and norms. Aoun also accused Israel of targeting religious and cultural heritage sites, saying the attacks reflected 'premeditated intentions against both people and property,' particularly because such locations are neither military sites nor host armed groups. The Lebanese president reiterated that Lebanon remains committed to implementing the framework agreement but warned that continued Israeli actions could undermine its effectiveness. He stressed that Lebanon would not accept the continued violation of the agreement's provisions. For his part, Trk said the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights is closely monitoring developments in Lebanon, particularly ongoing Israeli attacks since March 2, and is preparing a comprehensive report documenting alleged human rights violations.

Syria is seeking to reach a security agreement with Israel, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said in an interview with Al Jazeera on Sunday. He said a deal could pave the way for comprehensive peace between the two countries without compromising Syria's right to the Golan Heights, an area that Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War and annexed in 1981. Sharaa said Syria was trying to involve a large group of countries to pressure Israel to adopt a more balanced policy towards Syria. 'We are avoiding getting into confrontations,' he added. Reuters
