From the podium of the United Nations General Assembly on 28 September 2024 and earlier statements of 27 September, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Lebanon, “Israel must also defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hezbollah is the quintessential terror organization in the world today.” He added, “We’re building a partnership for peace with our Arab neighbors while fighting the forces of terror that threaten that peace...” Tel Aviv has, in other words, announced her intrusion to invade Lebanon and others through military intervention. We witnessed Prime Minister Netanyahu and the allies making a declaration of war on other nations, which would not only cause a threat to peace in the Middle East but other parts of the world.

With the assassination of Deputy Commander of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) General Abbas Nilforooshan and Hassan Nasrallah, top Hezbollah leader in Beirut on 25 September 2024, Tehran has calmed down her tone. Precise airstrikes on the Lebanese capital Beirut, a combination of human intelligence and state-of-art guided drone technology. The Iranian-origin Lebanese played their game and now the top agenda is to install a Christian government in Beirut with 3/4^th majority. Israel’s Defence Forces official in Tel Aviv said, on the condition of anonymity that Hezbollah and allies assisted us in targeting Hamas leadership in Lebanon and now it was their turn. He revealed their forces are ordered to intrude into Lebanon. He added that in a couple of days, we would be deployed and establish our bases there.

In the past, in separate incidents, Americans targeted Iranian Brigadier General Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike near Baghdad International Airport, Iraq, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi at the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, Syria and others. The dead bodies of both the military senior officers could not be identified from independent sources. The underground assistance by both the countries to Western allies was on assurance of elimination of orthodox Arab Muslim rivals and handing over of Al Quds Sharif as during the First World War victories. We witnessed that during the latest elections-2022 Hezbollah and Muslim allies lost majority when Christian parties won half of the total 128 seats. There are close-door plans to bring constitutional reforms to move to a more secular and pro-Christian democratic arrangement to defeat old arrangements guaranteed in the Constitution.

It is time high time to stop these evil moves and support the marginalized through the United Nations Organization to ensure the arrest of war criminals declared by the International Court of Justice including Prime Minister Netanyahu so that the threat to the world's peace is neutralized. The UN Secretary General, the Human Rights organizations and world leaders must prevent Israel and its allies from taking the peace of the world towards destruction and chaos.
