    Did the US join the condemnation? If the UN determines that Israel has been using White Phosphorus in a way which violates the Geneva Convention, the US might join. Otherwise, Trump will have to explain the reason.

      That’s an awesome level of naivety. Dude, wake up, Israel is committing genocide in broad daylight and the Orange is enabling them. You think some phosphorus will change anything?

        Yes, because proving the use of white phosphorus in violation of the Geneva Convention is easier.

          They’ve already proved it with soil samples elsewhere that Israel has attacked. Their crimes have been documented in every possible way and brought to the UN, for decades. Official UN bodies have condemned them. Israel and the US instead says you can’t trust the UN or Human Rights Watch or any other monitoring group.

            Soil samples per se doesn’t indicate illegal use of white phosphorus (WP) since the Geneva Convention permits some uses of WP. Bring the evidence before the Security Council for discussion. Israel’s actions in Lebanon are part of the Iran deal.

              That is true, but as a permanent member of the UNSC the US vetoes any measure that would hold Israel accountable. But yeah it would still useful to have the discussion and illustrate their crimes and to have the record of it.

        What’s wrong with suggesting that the UN investigate? Meghan Markle says she is the most trolled person in the world. Her only offense is marrying Prince Harry.

      Trump will have to explain the reason.

      Trump hasn’t had any sane explanation for anything he has done this term. He doesn’t care. He just mumbles some gibberish and attacks the next country.

        Even if he doesn’t care, he would still have to explain the reason he is not condemning Israel for illegally using white phosphorus.

          You seem to have been misinformed about how things work in this world. Maybe try reading some newspapers.
