Lebanon's caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, said on Friday the Lebanese government prioritises the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 in its entirety without any amendments.
The resolution ended the last round of conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006 and stipulates that southern Lebanon must be free of arms that do not belong to the Lebanese state.
"Calls are ongoing to reach an understanding", Mikati said in a post on X.

Israeli forces struck the southern Lebanese city of Tyre in the early hours of Thursday, hours after warning residents to evacuate and declaring all territory south of the Zahrani River, some 40 kilometres from the border, a "combat zone."
The Israeli military has ordered the entire city of Tyre, along with surrounding Palestinian camps, villages and neighbourhoods, to evacuate immediately, publishing a detailed map alongside the order on Wednesday.
The reinstated chair of Turkey's main opposition party Kemal Kilicdaroglu said on Wednesday the party will hold a congress once legal conditions are met, after a court ousted the previous leadership, triggering an internal crisis and market volatility last week.
