Lebanon "has no other choice but diplomacy", acting Prime Minister Najib Mikati said in a televised speech, responding to a question about diplomatic efforts to end the Israeli escalation against the Lebanese armed group "Hezbollah", Reuters reported, quoted from dariknews.bg.
Diplomatic efforts are underway for a ceasefire with Israel, Lebanese Minister of Information Ziad Makari said in turn at a government meeting convened today.
"The Lebanese government certainly wants a ceasefire, and everyone knows that (Israeli Prime Minister) Netanyahu went to New York based on the precondition of a ceasefire, only that the decision was made to kill Nasrallah," Makari said.< br />
"Diplomatic efforts to end hostilities continue. The Prime Minister is not giving up, but the issue is not easy at all," he added.
The death of the leader of "Hezbollah" Hassan Nasrallah, who was confirmed in the raid yesterday, has escalated tensions between Lebanon and Israel after months of attacks by both sides across their shared border.
