Lebanon’s Prime Minister condemns his Israeli counterpart’s call to UN chief Antonio Guterres to remove international peacekeepers from the Lebanese side of the border, where clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli troops have intensified.
Lebanon “condemns (Benjamin) Netanyahu’s position and the Israeli aggression against UNIFIL” peacekeepers, says Najib Mikati. “The warning that Netanyahu addressed to… Guterres demanding the removal of the UNIFIL represents a new chapter in the enemy’s approach of not complying with international” norms, he adds.
