Human Rights Commissioner: The war in Gaza is a barrel of gunpowder

Volker Turk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, warned on Monday that the war in Gaza is a powder keg that could lead to a wider war in West Asia.

According to AFP, Turk told the Human Rights Council in Geneva: I am very worried that any spark can make this gunpowder barrel a bigger fire. These consequences will affect all countries in the West Asia and many others outside of it.

Volker, in his speech, by examining major violations of human rights around the world, pointed to two examples of the regional consequences of the war between the Zionist regime and Hamas in Lebanon and Yemen. Turk explained that the intensification of military tension in southern Lebanon between the Zionist regime, Hezbollah and other armed factions is very worrying and pointed out that 200 people have been martyred in Lebanon.

He added: Incidents in which civilians, especially children, aid workers and journalists are killed, should be the subject of deep investigations. About 80,000 Israelis have been displaced from the border areas with Lebanon. It is important to do everything possible to prevent a larger fire.

Meanwhile, Egyptian sources claimed that at the same time as the probability of the Zionist army attacking Rafah increases, the news indicates an increase in the number of Egyptian military forces on the borders of this country with the Rafah area in the Gaza Strip. These sources added that Egyptian army forces are equipped with night vision cameras. “/> International West Asia
