Blinken says 'MOMENT OF URGENCY' in reaching diplomatic resolution in Lebanon • U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN SAYING: • The most important thing is to drive toward the diplomatic resolution, to get the understandings that are necessary for the full implementation of (UN Security Council Resolution) 1701. And the sooner we're able to do that, the sooner we're able to get a resolution. Meanwhile, we want to make sure... we want to see civilians protected. We want to make sure that the Lebanese armed forces are not caught in the in the crossfire. And certainly we want to make sure that in places like Beirut, there is a real effort to make sure that people are not harmed, that civilians are not caught up in this crossfire. I think this is a moment of importance and urgency that we're working to seize. I also had the opportunity to speak to Prime Minister (Najib) Mikati in Lebanon. And there, too, we have a sense of real urgency in getting to a diplomatic resolution and the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, such that there can be real security along the border between Israel and Lebanon and people on both sides of the border can have the confidence to be able to return to their homes. • • #newsbreaking #news #usa #russia #ukriane #globalnews #hotnews #blinken #antonyblinken #middleeast #lebanon #syria
