- Minister Najib: ‘The government is doing everything in its power to remove any pretexts from the Israelis’ hands’
BEIRUT: Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said in an interview Tuesday that security had been tightened in the country’s only airport in Beirut, to remove any pretexts for an Israeli attack.
“The government is doing everything in its power to remove any pretexts from the Israelis’ hands,” he said, adding that “tightened security has been in place for a week at the airport,” located near Hezbollah’s south Beirut stronghold that has seen intense Israeli bombardment.
