A Russian diplomat at the United Nations, Dmitry Polyansky, has expressed concern that Israel’s plan to flood Hamas tunnels could be considered a war crime.
The plan involves pumping seawater into the tunnels in the Gaza Strip.
Polyansky criticized the potential environmental consequences and its impact on Gaza’s water resources.
The United States has vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, citing concerns that it was divorced from reality.
The situation has led to a humanitarian crisis, with the UN Secretary-General urging a ceasefire declaration.
