Lebanese Prime Minister Nagib Mikati expressed confidence in the imminence of a "solution" to the ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, suggesting that a resolution could be reached in the coming days. However, he did not provide further details on the nature of this anticipated solution.
Speaking in Beirut during the launch ceremony of the Ministry of Tourism's summer 2024 campaign, Mikati addressed the current situation with a message of optimism.
"We hear calls from some countries advising their citizens to avoid coming to Lebanon, but I am sure that even those making these decisions wish deep down to be here. Arab and foreign visitors love us, and the feeling is mutual. I am confident that we will reach a solution in the coming days," he stated.
Despite the ongoing conflict, Lebanese expatriates continue to arrive at Beirut Airport, although several Arab and Western countries have advised against or outright prohibited travel to Beirut.
Mikati's remarks come at a critical time as Lebanon seeks to reassure both its citizens and potential visitors of the country's stability and resilience.
Mikati also highlighted his recent visit to southern Lebanon, where he met with army officers. "The Lebanese love life and accept challenges. I was in southern Lebanon and met with the army officers, witnessing their dedication to their posts amidst all the events shaking the region," he remarked, emphasizing the steadfastness and loyalty of the Lebanese military.
