Foreign Minister Abdullah Bou Habib continued his diplomatic meetings, which he had started on Wednesday, aiming for consultations and preventing escalation in the region. He met in the morning with several ambassadors of the countries participating in the international peacekeeping forces operating in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL). In a statement to the National News Agency, Bou Habib said that the discussions during the meeting focused on the situation in southern Lebanon and Gaza, requesting all ambassadors to help calm the situation on the southern border and to urge Israel to stop the bombardment, especially since the response from Lebanon is directed at the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms. Minister Bou Habib will continue his diplomatic meetings later today.
