Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati expressed optimism about reaching a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, Anadolu Agency reports.

“I am sure with the help of Allah that we will reach a solution regarding the situation (in southern Lebanon) in the coming days,” Mikati said at an event in Beirut.

Commenting on recent statements by some countries asking their nationals to leave Lebanon amid tensions with Israel, he said some of those countries that took such a decision still want to come to Lebanon.
