NNA – Deputy House Speaker, Elias Bou Saab, on Thursday welcomed Belgian Ambassador to Lebanon, Koen Vervaeke.nbsp;
Discussions between the pair reportedly focused on the latest Gaza war developments.
For his part, the Belgian Ambassador encouraged ldquo;Lebanon to avoid sliding into war as much as possible,rdquo; according to a statement by Bou Saabrsquo;s office.
In turn, Bou Saab stressed that ldquo;no one in Lebanon wants war,rdquo; demanding that ldquo;there be a clear position by the European Union condemning the massacres that are being committed daily in Gaza against civilians, including children, women, and men, and that there be a real effort to stop these crimes by resorting to an immediate cease fire coupled with political solutions.rdquo;
