Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati slammed Prime Minister Netanyahu’s demand for UN chief Antonio Guterres to move UN peacekeepers away from Lebanon’s border, Al Jazeera reports.

Beirut “condemns Netanyahu’s position and the Israeli aggression against UNIFIL” peacekeepers, Mikati said.

“The warning that Netanyahu addressed to … Guterres demanding the removal of the UNIFIL represents a new chapter in the enemy’s approach of not complying with international [norms]”, he added.
