European Council President Antonio Costa has welcomed the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, hailing it as “excellent news”.
“It must now be implemented and verified on the ground,” he says on X. “It is essential that Israel and Lebanon engage in meaningful negotiations that deliver concrete results — for the sake of their peoples and the prospect of a sustainable peace.
Costa adds that the EU will continue to support Lebanon and that “empowering the authorities to disarm Hezbollah is the only sustainable solution for restoring Lebanon’s stability”.
