Mikati: Framework Agreement Offered Some Assurance Against Targeting Beirut

Former Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said the framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel offered a degree of assurance that Beirut and essential facilities would not be targeted or disrupted.

His assessment pointed to a protective role for the agreement, while stopping short of describing it as an absolute guarantee for the capital or vital infrastructure.

Mikati also expressed doubt that the agreement would lead to a final resolution, distinguishing its immediate assurances from the prospect of a lasting settlement.

His remarks presented a cautious view of the framework: it could provide some protection against attacks and disruption, but its ability to deliver a definitive solution remained uncertain.
