Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati received a phone call from French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, during which the current developments in Lebanon and the situation in Gaza and the region were discussed.
During the call, Colonna confirmed that she was assigned by French President Emmanuel Macron to convey France’s commitment to respecting Lebanon’s sovereignty.
"It is time to take responsibility, more than ever before, and no one will win from an escalation," she said.
In turn, Mikati stressed the need for pressure to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression against Lebanon and its sovereignty and to prevent Israel from aggravating the situation.
He also insisted on the need to work to end the Israeli war on Gaza and reach a ceasefire because the continuation of the aggression would plunge the region into dangerous confrontations whose repercussions are unknown.
