Mikati: Arab, int'l efforts still ongoing to halt Israeli aggression
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati on Wednesday announced that “the Arab and international efforts are still ongoing to halt the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.”
“But the Israeli intransigence and the efforts by the enemy to achieve what it considers as gains and victories are still obstructing the success of these efforts,” Mikati added.
He continued, telling his visitors: “Some might believe that the diplomatic efforts have stopped, and that there is what resembles tacit approval for Israel to carry on with its aggression, but this impression is not true.”
“We are continuing the necessary contacts and Lebanon’s friends from the Arab and foreign countries are also continuing the pressure to cease the fire for a specific period in order to discuss the main political steps, most importantly the full implementation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 and compelling the Israeli enemy to implement it,” the premier went on to say.
