Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, during his meeting with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, confirmed that "we are making every effort to restore calm in the south," calling for "pressure on Israel to stop its aggression against Lebanon and to cease fire in Gaza." For her part, the German minister warned of the "necessity to avoid miscalculations and to keep Lebanon as far away from the conflict as possible."
During her meeting with caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib, they agreed that "the two-state solution is the gateway to addressing the real causes of the conflict in Gaza," counting on Germany's influence in Europe and the world, and its experience with the horrors of war to call for an immediate ceasefire and to allow relief convoys to enter the sector. Bou Habib warned of the implications of this conflict, not only on the security of our region but also on the security of Europe in particular and the world in general.
In this context, Army Commander General Joseph Aoun received the German Foreign Minister at his office in Yarze, accompanied by the German Ambassador to Lebanon Kurt George Schtoffelried and a accompanying delegation. They discussed the general situation in the country and developments at the southern border, confirming continued support for the army.
