Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met with a parliamentary committee tasked with protecting civilian sites and documenting what lawmakers described as systematic destruction in Lebanon, in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri.
Committee members said discussions focused on coordinating efforts with state institutions to document alleged Israeli violations and pursue legal action through international bodies. MPs said the committee’s role complements the government-appointed national committee working on international humanitarian law files.
Lawmakers said the committee had already contacted the presidency, the Beirut Bar Association, the Lebanese Army, diplomatic missions and international parliamentary bodies to support Lebanon’s case internationally.
They also warned against attempts to fuel internal divisions and sectarian tensions through Israeli actions and rhetoric, stressing the need for national unity and coordinated institutional action.
The MPs revealed expected moves toward the UN Human Rights Office, including a possible fact-finding mission to Lebanon and discussions at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
