Josep Borell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, supported Lebanon’s demands for the immediate implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
In a phone conversation with caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs Minister Abdallah Bou Habib on Monday, both sides expressed disappointment over the absence of progress in the recent round of talks aiming to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.
Negotiations took place in Cairo last week, following an initial round in Doha, and highlighted the need to persist in trying to halt the ceasefire in Gaza as the key step in stopping the current escalation in the region and preventing a full-fledged war.
For his part, Bou Habib emphasized the importance of the European Union applying pressure on Israel to halt its continuous attacks on Lebanon and abide by the implementation of Resolution 1701.
