BEIRUT, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Lebanese President Michel Aoun slammed on Monday Israeli policies for contradicting all international laws, treaties and customs, a statement by the president's office said.

"Israel violates other states' sovereignty, occupies the Golan Heights while declaring Al-Quds as its capital and occupying Palestinian territories," Aoun said during an event in the capital Beirut.

Aoun also referred to Israel's violation of international laws as a dangerous indicator of what is being prepared for the region.

"It is true that big wars have receded somehow, but their repercussions continue to have a bad impact, and the most dangerous in this framework is the investment of these wars' impacts by fragmenting the east to establish new alliances based on racism and sectarianism which has become known as the 'Deal of the Century'," he said.

U.S. President Donald Trump's "Deal of the Century" has been criticized for the exclusion of a Palestinian state since its inception.
