Egypt warned of the risk of opening a new war front in Lebanon, as the Foreign Ministry said in a statement, calling for stability
The UN coordinator in Lebanon and the blue-collars who are deployed in the country, as well as the Lebanese Prime Minister today called for a de-escalation between the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and Israel.
THE Najib Mikati noted that he was “in touch with friends of Lebanon to de-escalate” after Hezbollah announced it had launched a large-scale attack on Israel, which launched defensive strikes on Lebanese soil to limit the scope of the attack.
The UN coordinator in Lebanon and the UN Interim Force (Unifil) deployed on the border between Israel and Lebanon called on Hezbollah and Israel to “refrain from any further escalation” and for a “ceasefire”.
The Lebanese prime minister estimated that the most urgent thing is to “stop the Israeli aggression and implement the UN resolution 1701”, which ended the war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.
In their joint statement the UN coordinator and Unifil also underlined the need to “return to the cessation of hostilities after the implementation of resolution 1701”.
