Mikati says only way to peace is 'deterring Israel'

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati called Tuesday on the international community to stop Israel's agressions and to work on peaceful solutions for the region.

"In order for this region to know peace and prosperity, Israeli aggressions against southern Lebanon and Gaza must stop [...] and Israel must be compelled to implement international resolutions, especially Resolution 1701," Mikati said, adding that "Israel must also withdraw from all the Lebanese territories that are still occupied."

The PM urged the Lebanese to unite and unify their voices to demand the international community to deter Israel and work to provide peaceful solutions to the region.
