Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc Sends Diplomatic Note to Global Community Over Israeli Actions

The Loyalty to the Resistance Parliamentary Bloc has delivered a formal memorandum to embassies of Arab and foreign nations, detailing what it characterizes as ongoing Israeli military aggression against Lebanon and repeated breaches of the ceasefire framework established on November 27, 2024, through American intermediation.

The bloc's leadership asserts that Israel has persistently targeted civilian populations and national infrastructure despite the agreement's terms, while simultaneously accusing the United States of attempting to reshape international relations through military force. In the memorandum, bloc members identify Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a principal architect of this strategy, asserting he has "drawn the United States into conflict with Iran and intensified operations against Lebanon."

According to the bloc, Israeli violations of the cessation agreement number more than ten thousand incidents. The memorandum additionally highlights Israel's stated intentions to establish a buffer zone in southern Lebanon and exert territorial control over portions of Lebanese land—actions the bloc views as violations of Lebanese sovereignty.

The bloc maintains that diplomatic and political channels pursued by Lebanese authorities and its own communications with domestic and international officials have failed to curtail what it describes as "Israeli crimes." It further contends that the committee overseeing implementation of the ceasefire mechanism has not fulfilled its responsibilities.

The memorandum reasserts what the bloc terms the "legitimate right to self-defense" for Lebanese citizens, grounding this position in international legal frameworks and Lebanon's government ministerial statement. The bloc accuses Israel of perpetrating "war crimes and crimes against humanity," citing the targeting of civilians, forced displacement of residents, and destruction of medical facilities, educational institutions, religious sites, media outlets, and civilian infrastructure.

Particular emphasis is placed on raids conducted across Beirut and other Lebanese regions on April 8, 2026, which the bloc states resulted in thousands of civilian casualties, including children and women, despite a declared regional ceasefire at that moment.

The bloc further notes that Israeli operations have affected medical personnel, healthcare workers, journalists, soldiers of the Lebanese military, and personnel from UNIFIL, characterizing these actions as violations subject to prosecution under international law and International Criminal Court jurisdiction.

The memorandum concludes with demands for a complete halt to Israeli military operations, withdrawal from Lebanese territory, facilitation of civilian return to their villages, and the release of detainees. The bloc emphasizes that internal Lebanese dialogue aimed at establishing a unified national security strategy should guide all decisions regarding national defense and protection.
