The Prime Minister of Lebanon, Nayib Mikati, has asserted that “there is no option other than diplomacy” as a solution to the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese Shiite militia party Hezbollah, after Israeli attacks have already left more than a thousand dead in barely fifteen days, including the leader of the Islamist militia, Hasan Nasrallah.
“We will not hesitate for a moment to play the diplomatic role and we have no other option than diplomacy,” Mikati said during a televised speech after an emergency meeting of his cabinet, according to the Al Manar television network, which has links with Hezbollah.
Likewise, Mikati has highlighted that the recent intensification of Israeli attacks could have forced up to a million people to flee their homes towards other safer areas of Lebanon, causing what could be the worst displacement crisis in the history of the country. country.
Hezbollah has been bombing northern Israel for almost a year in solidarity with Gaza and has caused several deaths and the evacuation of thousands of people. Israel has responded to these attacks and since the middle of the month intensified its operation against the Lebanese militia with a series of bombings against Beirut that have claimed the lives of Nasrallah and a large part of Hezbollah’s leadership.
