- Mikati on Eid al-Fitr: 'Lebanon Will Regain Its Health'
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati expressed confidence that "Lebanon will regain its health," hoping that "the Israeli page of aggression against South Lebanon will be turned."
Speaking after Eid al-Fitr prayer at al-Mansouri Mosque in Tripoli, Mikati said, "Lebanon will regain its health with the concerted efforts of everyone and their positive cooperation."
"We hope that ongoing international and Arab efforts yield results and end Israeli aggression against Gaza, so Palestinians enjoy security and stability," Mikati added.
Sheikh Ali Al-Khatib, Vice President of the Supreme Islamic Shiite Council, was assigned by the Mufti of Jbeil, Sheikh Abdul Amir Shamseddine, to deliver his sermon.
"The current dangerous situation imposes on us, as Lebanese, the duty of uniting our national will to confront it. This danger does not affect a particular group or sect, but all of us without exception."
For his part, Grand Jaafari Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan insisted on the need to adopt "preventive security" to protect the country. "We will not accept any presidential compromise that conflicts with the resistance on the southern front," he said.
