Caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab asked Foreign Minister Zina Aker to “instruct Lebanon’s delegate to the United Nations to file an urgent complaint against the Israeli enemy, which has violated Lebanese sovereignty, endangered the safety of civil aviation and directly threatened the lives of civilian passengers, Lebanese and foreigners.”

Diab stressed that “the Israeli enemy’s continued violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty constitutes a direct threat to UN Resolution 1701. Diab called on the United Nations and the international community to “condemn the Israeli aggression and take measures that preserve Lebanese sovereignty and protect UN Resolution 1701.”
