US EditionIraqi PM Condemns Israeli Strikes on Lebanon
- During a joint press conference in Baghdad on January 7, 2024, Iraqi leader Mohammed Shia al-Sudani strongly criticized Israel's recent airstrikes in Lebanon alongside Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
- The condemnation came amid ongoing Israeli operations against Hezbollah targets despite a ceasefire effective since November 27, 2023, based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which requires Hezbollah to pull back beyond the Litani River—approximately 30 kilometers from the Israeli border—and calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory.
- Both leaders highlighted the importance of maintaining peace in the region, respecting existing international accords, and called on all involved parties to reduce tensions and recommit to diplomatic efforts amid ongoing border clashes and Israel’s continued presence at five key locations along the frontier.
- Al-Sudani called the Israeli strikes "violation of international law" and reiterated Iraq's strong support for Lebanon, highlighting past Iraqi aid including fuel shipments, $20 million to reconstruction, and upcoming wheat deliveries.
- The joint statement signals closer Baghdad-Beirut ties and Iraq's commitment to backing Lebanon through economic aid and political support while warning that ongoing aggression risks destabilizing the fragile regional ceasefire.
