Description

In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati stated that the United States had assured him that Israel's bombings of Beirut would decrease. He mentioned that his communications with American officials led to a visible reduction in escalations in the city and its southern suburbs. However, Mikati noted that concrete plans for a ceasefire had not yet developed, although discussions were ongoing at the UN Security Council level. He emphasized the need to eliminate any justifications for targeting Lebanon's vital infrastructure, including airports and ports. Israel has indicated it currently believes these facilities are not being used for military purposes but has warned of potential attacks if it changes its assessment.
