On Capitol Hill, Michigan Democratic Congressmember Rashida Tlaib is calling on Congress to pass a Lebanon war powers resolution this week. She wrote, “Our country should not be assisting or supporting indiscriminate bombings and forced displacement anywhere, including Lebanon.”

Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting Monday to discuss Lebanon. U.N. Assistant Secretary-General Martha Pobee said Israel is violating a U.N. Security Council resolution that was aimed at stopping Israel’s invasion of Lebanon two decades ago.

Martha Ama Akyaa Pobee: “Israel’s presence north of the Blue Line is a clear violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as of Security Council Resolution 1701. Israeli forces must withdraw to south of the Blue Line.”
