It’s Humiliation, Israeli Soldiers Vote In Southern Lebanon As Lebanon Delays Elections

Israeli soldiers began voting in Knesset elections from occupied Lebanese territory on Wednesday—a humiliating scene for Lebanon and its sovereignty. Military voting includes positions in Syria and Gaza and continues until Israel’s October 27 elections.

The bitter irony: Lebanon postponed its own parliamentary elections by two years amid war and security concerns, while Israeli soldiers elect their representatives on land their army occupies.

Denied their vote, Lebanese citizens watch foreign troops exercise that same right on their soil—a stark blow to their country’s sovereignty and dignity.
