Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati has called on the “UN Security Council to take a firm stance to stop the Israeli aggression on Lebanon” and its “technological war”, the state-run NNA news agency reported.

“This matter does not only concern Lebanon but all of humanity,” Mikati said.

The comments come ahead of a Security Council session scheduled for Friday at the request of the Lebanese government.

Mikati also received British ambassador to Lebanon Hamish Cowell, Qatari ambassador Saud bin Abdul Rahman bin Faisal Al Thani and the Bangladesh ambassador Javed Tanveer Khan.
