Najib Mikati, the prime minister of Lebanon, stated that a war in the region may be avoided by striking an agreement with Israel on the demarcation of the southern maritime border.
According to the prime minister of Lebanon, when one decision is made, it is feasible to fulfil everyone’s desires.
Prior to this, the Council members reiterated their “strong support for Lebanon’s stability, security, territorial integrity, sovereignty, and political independence, in accordance with Security Council resolutions and statements by the President of the Security Council regarding the situation in Lebanon” and urged the Lebanese government to “implement known, necessary, and tangible reforms quickly and transparently.”
They emphasised that “these reforms are necessary to address the legitimate needs and aspirations of the Lebanese people with reference to the critical humanitarian, economic, social, and security difficulties the country is currently confronting.
The members stressed the need for “a rapid, independent, impartial, comprehensive and transparent investigation into the two explosions that shook Beirut on 4 August 2020,” emphasising the significance of holding free, fair, and inclusive elections in 2022 transparently and in accordance with the planned timeline, in a manner that ensures the full, equal, and meaningful participation of women as candidates and voters in the elections.
The border demarcation agreement with Israel, according to the prime minister of Lebanon, prevents a regional war.
