Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has cancelled a trip to the United Nations General Assembly after deadly attacks in the past week, which he decried as “horrific massacres”, Al Jazeera reports.
Mikati said in a statement that he cancelled his trip “in light of the developments linked to the Israeli aggression on Lebanon”, after an Israeli raid on Beirut’s southern suburbs and attacks on Hezbollah devices blamed on Israel.
He said that no priority was higher than stopping Israel’s “massacres” and the various conflicts it is waging and called on the international community to take a stand against such actions.
