UN Must Investigate Israel’s Use of Banned Weapons: Syria

Human rights groups say Israel has used white phosphorous illegally in its war against the resistance in Lebanon and in Gaza

Syria has called for an international investigation of the Israel military’s use of internationally banned white phosphorus in its ongoing bombing campaigns in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, Syria’s pro-government Al-Baath newspaper reported on 15 November.

On Wednesday, the Acting Chargé d’affaires of the Permanent Delegation of Syria to the United Nations, Dr. Al-Hakam Dandi, called upon the the UN Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to launch an investigation into Israel’s deployment of these prohibited weapons.

Dr. Dandi called for the investigation during the 4th Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other Weapons of Mass Destruction.

“Syria unequivocally condemns the Israeli occupation forces’ use of internationally prohibited white phosphorus in their repeated attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. We urge the OPCW to initiate an investigation into Israel’s deployment of these weapons,” Dandi emphasized.
