Lebanon,

UN Resolution 1701,

According to Mikati, Lebanon has documented
35,000
Israeli violations of the resolution, including violations of its
airspace, land, and territorial waters, Khaberni reported.
Mikati highlighted that Lebanon is still
committed to UN resolutions, especially
Resolution 1701. The Lebanese
government works with UNIFIL forces to maintain regional stability and prevent
further escalation of tensions.
He emphasized that conversation and diplomacy
are essential for resolving disagreements or tensions in the region. The
Lebanese government is committed to seeking diplomatic solutions. However, an
immediate suspension of
hostilities in Gaza is required for such diplomacy.
Mikati warned that the Gaza war and its
aftermath could further destabilize Lebanon, jeopardizing its political and
economic prospects. It may also have an impact on Lebanon's ability to control
internal affairs and pose further security concerns.
