    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.

        Correct. Israel would be embarrassed if the evidence shows it has been using white phosphorus (WP) illegally since Israel denies it. Also, Israel’s actions in Lebanon are now included in the Iran deal. Israel’s illegal use of WP would get sympathy for Iran.
