In a speech at the UN General Assembly, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib warned of continued instability and the possibility of war as long as the Israeli occupation persists. He emphasized the urgent need for a resolution to the ongoing conflict in the region, which has plagued Lebanon and other neighboring countries for decades.
Bou Habib expressed his support for a ceasefire proposal put forth by the United States and France, signaling a willingness to work towards peace and security in the region. He highlighted the importance of finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict, rather than resorting to military force.
The Foreign Minister’s remarks come amidst renewed tensions between Israel and Lebanon, following a series of recent skirmishes along the border. The situation has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation and violence in the region, with both sides accusing each other of aggression.
Bou Habib’s speech underscores the need for international cooperation and dialogue to address the root causes of the conflict and work towards a sustainable peace agreement. He called on the international community to support efforts to end the Israeli occupation and uphold the rights of the Lebanese people.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the ceasefire proposal will be received by all parties involved. However, Bou Habib’s message serves as a reminder of the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the Middle East.
