Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati on Monday said that “diplomatic contacts are active in several directions to halt the Israeli threats against Lebanon and reach a ceasefire in Gaza.”

“The Lebanese government’s paper declared in the weekend, which highlights the basis for achieving sustainable stability in south Lebanon, specifies the clear foundations of the solution, topped by deescalation, in order to avoid a destructive cycle of violence,” Mikati added.

“The international community must play a decisive and instant role in calming the tensions and reining in the continued Israeli aggression against Lebanon,” he went on to say.

The Government of Lebanon must play a decisive and instant role. We need to stop expecting that others are going to do for us when we are unwilling to do for ourselves. Mikati needs to grow a pair and govern for all citizens. Berri needs to call the election and maintain quorum, forcibly if necessary, until a president is elected. Everything else is just a shadow of life in the Grand Bazaar .. and it has been generations since we were occupied by them.
