PH condemns Israel attack on UN peacekeepers

THE Philippines joined 40 other nations in condemning the alleged attack of Israel on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon.

"We urge all UN member states to uphold their obligations under international law and ensure peacekeepers can carry out their critical work. Violations of peacekeeping mandates undermine the rules-based international order and destabilize regions where peace efforts are most needed," the Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement dated October 17.
