Mikati speaks of efforts to halt Israeli threats against Lebanon, reach Gaza truce
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.
