Lebanon: Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati once again called on the United States, which, along with France, brokered the ceasefire agreement, to ensure Israel’s full withdrawal from the territories it occupies in southern Lebanon by February 18.
According to Qatar News Agency, during his meeting with US Deputy Special Envoy for the Middle East, Morgan Ortagus, Mikati stressed the importance of upholding international resolutions, noting that their implementation would contribute to stability in the region, particularly in southern Lebanon.
Mikati also called for an end to Israel’s systematic destruction of towns and villages and urged the full application of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, as well as the resolution of border disputes along the Blue Line.
