Mikati says implementation of ceasefire deal up to Netanyahu

W460

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."

If implementing UN Resolution 1701 is "not in the hands of Lebanon's government", then we should expect the Israelis will implement it upon us .. I, for one, expect that to be forcefully kinetic. ... Unless someone else thinks otherwise ..??

"Nothing should be prioritized over the need to save Lebanon and the lives of its citizens. ... To stop the bleeding, the remnants of the country’s authorities and the political class must face their moral responsibilities and protect civilian lives. The government must stop behaving like a mere spokesperson for Hezbollah and its project. The government must send substantial military forces to the south now, thereby delivering an unequivocal message about its intention to fully implement UN Resolution 1701 and the new proposals being put forward to safeguard Lebanon's sovereignty and allow the state to once again make decisions of war and peace. A different policy is needed to allow Lebanon's friends to play supportive roles and lay the foundations for ending the war."

... but it will bring more destruction and humiliation to Lebanon.

Just say the words: "We Surrender" and be done with the fantasy play.
