Lebanon-Israel War | 2023-present

[Hassan Al-Somal]

Israel poisoned the land in Lebanon, just as it did with the water wells in Palestine, violating the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Israel sprayed toxic and carcinogenic chemicals all over Lebanese agricultural land, resulting in catastrophic levels of cancer-linked chemical in the soil, concentrations reached 22,750 mcg/g, that’s 11,000 times above the safe levels of 0.5/2 mcg/g.

Poisoning and destroying agricultural lands during an armed conflict is a war crime and an act of genocide.

Lebanon Denounces Israel to the UN for Spraying Glyphosate in High Concentrations
Beirut, June 17, 2026 – Lebanon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has filed a formal complaint with the UN Security Council and Secretary-General António Guterres.

It accuses Israel of spraying concentrated glyphosate on February 1 in southern border villages such as Aita al-Shaab, Ras Naqura and Dhayra (The Guardian, 2026).

Laboratory analyses confirmed glyphosate concentrations between 20 and 30 times higher than normal agricultural levels, reaching up to 22,750 micrograms per gram. This poses serious risks to public health, soil, crops and food security (The New Arab, 2026).

President Joseph Aoun condemned the action as an “environmental and health crime” and a violation of Lebanese sovereignty. Glyphosate is classified by the WHO as “probably carcinogenic.”

Lebanon argues that this use violates the Chemical Weapons Convention. Israel has not issued an official comment. The complaint comes amid persistent border tensions despite the ceasefire.

[_Arabia_]

can anyone please share the reaction / position of the GCC states regarding the Israeli incursions and explansion into Lebanon and Syria?

do they support it openly or are currently quiet due to their alliance with Israel against Iran and its proxies? are they blocking the fleeing Lebanese as well like Eygypt is blocking the Palestinains from escaping into its territory that are facing the Israeli bombing?

What kind of stupid troll post is that with all due respect?

What is the point of talking about the GCC as if one collective? Does it make sense to you to talk about the Arab or Muslim world like one unified political body?

Each GCC state have their own foreign policy. Many are at odds with each other. Historically and today. No need to look further than KSA-UAE conflict/rivalry that is multifaceted.

KSA for instance is the main economic supporter and otherwise partner of Syria.

KSA as well as all Arab states and governments have condemned Israeli behavior in Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. Like the rest of the Muslim world (most of it).

KSA has supported and supportes the Lebanese government. Hezbollah is not Lebanon or the Lebanese government. Anymore than Pakistani militias/armed groups are that. Whether Baloch insurgents or "Islamic" armed groups.

Have you ever looked at a map of the Arab world or West Asia? How could the GCC, which does not border Syria or Lebanon or Palestine for that matter, directly, prevent anybody from fleeing let alone Lebanese?

If you believe that Arabs (as in leadership) are going to declare a war against a nuclear triad armed Israel with full support of the foremost superpower (USA) and all of the West (even Russia would aid Israel), you are living in fantasy land.

Also it looks like South Lebanese are themselves capable of defending themselves. As they should be doing.

I did not see calls for other Arabs or Muslims to defend KSA when we dealt with hostiles entities of the past. This almost always occurred on our own. Same thing with Syrians when they liberated their country. It was mostly done all by themselves. Nobody fought on the side of Pakistan directly either in any of its wars against India.

Welcome to the real world (geopolitics).

Since I saw that person post a reply I will say they are very quiet and important(correction I meant to put impotent) with no ability to counter Israel as they couldn’t do it in Gaza West Bank Syria and Lebanon…….a few here say if their Arab brothers were to be attacked an alliance of Arab countries will come so powerful that they will destroy the oppressor……..maybe paraphrasing but close enough and people say I have a wild imagination

So genius (likely false flagger), has your beloved Iran done anything to stop Israel or the US? The answer is no. The only thing they did was to attack mainly tiny small GCC states and the largely empty US bases there, after the US and Israel pounded Iran heavily, killed most of its leadership, killed 10.000's of Iranians and destroyed infrastructure worth at least 300 + billion USD.

I am yet to see a single Iranian soldier liberate Palestine, Lebanon or anything alike. Call me when that happens.

Iran, after helping slaughter 100.000's of Syrians with the help of their great ally Al-Assad, after establishing 100's of military bases NEXT DOOR to Israel, never touched or attacked Israel once, until Israel started carpet bombing Iran itself.

Are we supposed to hail Iran, a country of 90 million, many times larger than Israel, for sending a few missiles at Israel and drones, as a reply to being attacked directly for several weeks and months and 2 times across two years?

Until then no regional regime is going to be put on some pedestal or worshipped like you do with the Iranian regime as a supposed "Palestinian" based in the US, no less.

And sorry to tell you, but no Arab or non-Arab regime is going to risk an all-out war against Israel and the US for the sake of non-citizens.

First tell the 2 million Palestinian/Israeli Arabs WITHIN Israel itself (citizens) to at least do something even remotely. Hardly anything has ever bee done since 1948 but you expect Arabs from far away to solve it all for you. You are the type of Palestinian (if you are not a false flagger that does nothing to help his own cause.

Same way that there is no "Muslim world" or "Arab world" in geopolitics. There are only a few select regimes that are ultimately just looking for their own interests and survival. The Iranian regime is no different that is why they are now trying to save themselves by negotiating with the US.

Now, the average Arab and Muslim (which has no power to change anything) have rightly other viewpoints, but we are not in power.

And yes, the whole story of dictatorships (as if Iran is not the same thing) can also be applied to Palestine. Abbas has been ruling for well over 20 years in a row with no elections (currently oldest head of state in the world) and same thing in Gaza with Hamas ruling for 20 + years without any elections. After a civil war with Fatah in Gaza no less.

So spare me the "Arab dictatorship" rhetoric as if only the Arabs were affected and everyone else in the region somehow lived in some imaginary Swiss democracy.

And no, KSA or other Arab states are not taking advantage of the conflict. KSA's position on Palestine has been clear since 1948. A Palestinian state with pre-1967 borders and no diplomatic realtions or recognition with Israel until that occurs. Same KSA that has created the Arab Peace Initiative (only such thing in existence out there to this day), one of the main donors historically and today. It was also in KSA where the PEOPLE (through public donations) donated by far the most money to Gaza since October 7th.

So spare me the nonsense. We (average people), at least in KSA, did what we could realistically do. Do not insult the generosity of our people because you have a problem with a regime - that you are most likely clueless about having never visited KSA, as well as being fed with propaganda from Arab and Muslim diaspora based in the West/US - which ironically is the biggest lifeline of Israel/Zionists. Not Arabs/KSA.

So try not to embarrass yourself in the future albeit this is as likely as a Zionist realizing that his positions are wrong.

Also make up your mind. Is It a purely nationalistic conflict (Palestinian Arabs vs Israelis) or is it religious in nature (Islam was Judaism)? If it is the latter, you should be blaming the entire Muslim world, in particular nations like Pakistan which are far stronger (militarily) than all Arab states and which is a nuclear power even. Somehow I don't see you doing that.

EDIT: When the low IQ troll (likely false flagger - never even once seen him write anything in Arabic or post any Arabic sources or showcase any kind of deep knowledge about Arab affairs), has no arguments or nothing to counter, a stupid gif will do it to confirm what he is all about. Trolling. Carry on. Remember to wash the backside of your beloved Iranian regime and keep fantasizing about them "defeating" Israel and the US in some alternative parallel universe. That really worked great in Gaza.
