Mikati said in a television speech after a government session:
- We are leading intensive efforts to achieve a ceasefire and stop the bombing of civilians in Lebanon.
- I made contact with the US Secretary of State regarding ceasefire efforts.
- We are committed to implementing Resolution 1701, and the international community must pressure Israel to implement it.
- We call on the UN Security Council to take an “immediate” ceasefire decision in Lebanon.
- We are ready to strengthen the presence of the Lebanese Army in the south.
- We condemn the Israeli bombing of UNIFIL forces in southern Lebanon.
- The escalation of Israeli attacks that the world is witnessing makes all of Lebanon a victim of Israeli arrogance, which is not deterred.
- We want a president accepted by all Lebanese.
- Also during the session, we reviewed the current humanitarian and living conditions.
- Today we have about 1,000 shelter centers, including 600 public schools and educational schools.
- We thank all the countries that helped Lebanon in these difficult circumstances.
- We are also preparing for the winter, both in terms of fuel and necessary clothing.
- We do everything in our power to implement what can be implemented within the available capabilities.
