Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has made the decision to end his meetings in New York at the United Nations General Assembly and return home following Israeli strikes that targeted southern Beirut on Friday. The Prime Minister's office released a statement confirming his early departure and the continuation of government meetings in his absence.
Prime Minister Mikati has instructed that an emergency meeting be convened as soon as he arrives back in Beirut to address the situation resulting from the Israeli strikes. The decision to cut short his visit underscores the seriousness of the recent events and the need for immediate government action.
The Israeli strikes in southern Beirut have heightened tensions in the region, with Lebanon condemning the attacks as a violation of its sovereignty. The Lebanese government is expected to discuss the impact of the strikes and formulate a response strategy during the emergency meeting called by Prime Minister Mikati.
Prime Minister Mikati's return to Beirut signals a shift in focus towards addressing the security concerns raised by the recent Israeli actions. The government's swift response to convene an emergency meeting demonstrates its commitment to safeguarding Lebanon's stability and sovereignty in the face of external threats.
As the situation continues to develop, all eyes are on Lebanon to see how the government will navigate the aftermath of the Israeli strikes and ensure the safety and security of its citizens. Prime Minister Mikati's leadership during this critical time will be crucial in guiding the country through these challenging circumstances.
