Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati emphasized the importance of Lebanese unity in confronting Israeli aggression, calling for the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 and the deployment of the Lebanese army across the Litani River in coordination with UNIFIL.

"We call on the international community to shoulder its moral responsibilities, especially in light of Israel's insistence on prolonging the aggression," Mikati said from Ain al-Tineh.

The PM reaffirmed Lebanon's commitment to the statement issued during meetings at the United Nations General Assembly by the United States, France, the European Union, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Germany, Australia, Canada, and Italy.

Mikati's words came following a meeting between House Speaker Nabih Berri, Mikati, and Former leader of Progressive Socialist Party Walid Jumblatt.

"We hope this meeting will be the first step toward bringing together all the major forces and components of our national fabric in this mission, building on the positive momentum created by Speaker Berri's communications with the parliamentary blocs to accomplish the presidential election," Mikati said.
