DUBAI (Reuters) – Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, said on Friday the Lebanese government prioritises the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 in its entirety without any amendments.
The resolution ended the last round of conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006 and stipulates that southern Lebanon must be free of arms that do not belong to the Lebanese state.
“Calls are ongoing to reach an understanding”, Mikati said in a post on X.
