Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati says Beirut is holding contacts with its partners to stop an escalation with Israel, the country’s official news agency NNA reports.
In an emergency meeting of the cabinet held at his residence, Mikati says that “what is required is first to stop the Israeli aggression, and then to implement Resolution 1701,” referencing the UN decision that ended the Second Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006 and stipulated the creation of a demilitarized zone between Israel’s northern border and the Litani River in Lebanon.

The resolution calls for: Full cessation of hostilities (OP1) Israel to withdraw all of its forces from Lebanon in parallel with Lebanese and UNIFIL soldiers deploying throughout the South (OP2) A long-term solution based on (OP8) Disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon (implying Hezbollah) No armed forces other than UNIFIL and Lebanese (implying Hezbollah and Israeli forces) will be south of the Litani River
Unfortunately, Lebanon has been taken over by private armies and militias.
Lebanese army is just an honor guard for official functions.
Actually, an example, that there are few (very few) functions that government does the best.
Private armies just do not work. They will eventually start to make profit, by pillage, to detriment of the society.
You’ve just described UN Peacekeepers.
of what use is a “demilitarized zone” if Hezbollah is launching ROCKETS into Israel?
As with Hamas, the only course to real peace in the ME (and the world) is to kill every single jihadi/islamist on the planet.
Sergeant Kyle Reese said it best: “Listen and understand. That Jihad is out there! It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will never stop, ever, until you are dead!”
Nice try by Najib, but it isn’t “…Israeli aggression…” that’s causing the region’s difficulties, is it.
Lebanon is incapable of disarming hezbollah and making them adhere to the UN resolution.
hezbollah are war criminals by their armed existence below the Litani river.
Kill them all.
Civilian casualties are the war criminals’ fault.
I know that. Calling for implementation of Resolution 1701 is a pointless, desperate move.
“Kill them all.
Civilian casualties are the war criminals’ fault.“
Why do you think I’m so terrified for the Jewish civilians in Israel? Good luck.
Finally, we agree on something.
Did someone put bath salts in your Cheerios?
(Joking! Thanks, and you be well too.)
Wholesale Civilizational Struggle is well underway, and our physical existence is threatened within our lifetimes. Will the West wake up and confront the barbarians, or kneel and apologize while our throats are slit? Those are the options on offer. Find yourself on the right side or expect to bleed out.
A first step should be to arrest Nasrallah and then kill him on public display
The truth is that Lebanon does not really exist as a soverign nation
Because a resolution by a bunch of egg headed pantywaists is gonna stop the subhuman islamists just like the cease fire with Gaza stopped October 7.

Hey, Lebanon’s PM, if your first demand is to protect hamas from extinction; pi$$ off.
Careful what you wish for.
Just finishing off the quotes from the movie. I don’t “wish” for such things.
