Sharjah24 - WAM: Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, has welcomed the framework agreement signed between Lebanon and Israel under United States mediation, describing it as an important step towards helping the Lebanese state restore its ability to exercise sovereignty and secure a full and final Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. He said the agreement would help pave the way for the return of displaced persons, the release of detainees, and the mobilisation of international efforts to reconstruct the south.
During a telephone call with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, the Secretary-General reaffirmed his ongoing support for the government's efforts to preserve security and stability and consolidate national sovereignty. He also emphasised the Arab League's full solidarity with Lebanon and its readiness to assume its responsibilities.
Aboul Gheit also warned against Israel's continued provocative policies and aggressive practices, which he said aim to avoid its commitments and undermine the implementation of the agreement. He called for maintaining national unity and urged the Lebanese people to stand united behind the state and government in the face of ongoing attempts to sow discord and threaten civil peace.
