Diplomatic Communications
Meanwhile on Thursday, Prime Minister Najib Mikati said that communications have intensified in recent hours, before a UN Security Council meeting discussing the situation in the Middle East.
“There are contacts taking place between the United States and France with the aim of reviving a ceasefire declaration for a specific period in order to resume the search for political solutions,” the Lebanese premier told his visitors in remarks carried by National News Agency.
“We have reiterated, during the diplomatic contacts, our readiness to implement Resolution 1701 provided that Israel abides by all its provisions. We also stressed the priority to halt the Israeli aggression,” Mikati said, adding that the Israeli attacks on civilians, and rescue and relief workers violate the international laws.
“Violence, carnage and destruction will not lead to a solution,” he underlined, adding: “Israel must be forced to cease its destructive aggression.”
