Hashem: Atwis Kidnapping Is an “Israeli” Piracy Act and a Violation of UN Resolution 1701

Member of the Liberation and Development Parliamentary Bloc, MP Kassem Hashem, stated Sunday afternoon that the "Israeli" enemy's kidnapping of the Lebanese citizen, Imad Hassan Atwi, actually denotes an act of piracy that comes on the verge of UN Secretary General's issuance of his report. Hashem considered that said report ought to take note of such "Israeli" violations of UN Resolution 1701, which prove that the "Israeli" enemy does not succumb to international resolutions.

He also noted that the "Israeli" attack is considered as a violation of the "Blue Line" and Lebanese sovereignty. He added that this act entails that Lebanon preserves its resistance movement for the sake of confronting such "Israeli" attacks.
