Moawad added in a statement to MTV: “I reiterated the urgent need for the full implementation of the November 2024 cessation of hostilities agreement.”

She continued: “I stressed the safety of our territory and full state sovereignty over all Lebanese land, and called for a ceasefire and the return of displaced people to their homes.”

She said: “I called for practical steps to ease the acute humanitarian crisis the country continues to face as a result of the ongoing conflict. The date and location of the next meeting will be announced later.”
