Referring to Israel, Salam said he would work to “impose the complete withdrawal of the enemy from the last occupied inch of our land”.

Hardly an unbiased choice to lead the ICJ.

Very interesting choice of yours to omit the context, in which Hezbollah also drew his ire. Surely a coincidence and not a product of bias, though, right?

It's fine for him to talk how he wants, it's not fine for him to be the person in charge of investigating Israel if he considers it to be the enemy.

And if he considers Hezbollah the enemy, he should not be investigating them either.

Good news, he isn't; he resigned in order to take his appointment as the Lebanese PM, in which capacity he was speaking in the article you linked. Any more thinly veiled ad hominems you'd like to throw around?
