UN human rights chief says Israel must end occupation and house demolitions in Lebanon
The UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, urged Israel to end its occupation of southern Lebanon and halt home demolitions, citing potential war crimes amid ongoing conflict with Hezbollah. The call comes ahead of talks in Rome on implementing a June 26 framework deal for Lebanese military deployment and Israeli withdrawal, though Hezbollah has rejected disarming.
