Bou Habib: Lebanon Initiated a Serious Proposal to Ensure Stability Along Its Southern Borders

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants in the caretaker government, Abdullah Bou Habib, affirmed after meeting with Canadian Ambassador Stephanie MacLellan that "Lebanon has initiated a serious proposal to ensure stability along its southern borders through the recent message submitted to the United Nations. We expect active countries to support this initiative to maintain regional security and peace, and to prevent the expansion of war in the Middle East." He added: "We should not seek half measures in our region. Give peace a chance by fully and comprehensively implementing international legitimacy resolutions related to establishing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital."
