Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has said that he is “reassured” that a solution will be reached in the “coming days” for the Israel-Hezbollah conflict that has been raging for the past nine months.

“I am reassured that we will reach a solution in the coming days,” Mikati said at a Beirut waterfront ceremony for launching the 2024 summer tourism season.

“We hear some countries telling their citizens not to come to Lebanon, but I stress that even some of those who took this decision want to come to Lebanon,” Mikati added.

“Arab and foreign citizens love Lebanon and we love them, and I’m reassured that God willing we will reach a solution in the coming days,” the premier went on to say.
