Mawlawi calls on international community, Arab countries to exert diplomatic & political efforts to protect Lebanon

Caretaker Minister of Interior and Municipalities, Judge Bassam Mawlawi, stressed the "necessity of combining all international efforts to implement Resolution 1701," underlining that its implementation will render Lebanon more committed to international legitimacy. In an interview with "Monte Carlo International Radio Channel", Mawlawi appealed to the international community and Arab countries that care about Lebanon and the Lebanese people's safety and security, to "join diplomatic and political efforts to protect Lebanon from what it is exposed to." In response to a question, Mawlawi stressed that 'electing a president for the republic is a constitutional matter and a duty for the honorable parliament members," adding, "It should have happened about two years ago, and everyone knows that internal and external political efforts are currently aligned within this framework.' On the families who were forced to leave their homes due to the Israeli enemy's aggression, Mawlawi considered that "the challenge fa cing Lebanon is huge and the displacement crisis is unprecedented," adding that "the shelters are not enough and some of the displaced are still waiting for other centers to be secured."
