Mikati says implementation of ceasefire deal up to Netanyahu
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has said that he has done “everything necessary to protect Lebanon” in the face of Israel’s escalation, noting that foreign and Arab powers have supported Lebanon’s stance.
"The issue now is about implementation, or in Benjamin Netanyahu's commitment to the U.S.-French statement, because he had previously rejected several initiatives coming from U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the (U.N.) Security Council and Arab sides," Mikati told the Mustaqbal Web news portal.
Mikati concluded by saying: "We have done what needs to be done, but the rest is not in our hands."
