Borrell arrived in Lebanon on Friday on a diplomatic push to ease tension along the Lebanese-Israeli border. He held talks on Saturday with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati.
Tensions have escalated along the Lebanese-Israeli border since Israel launched a massive military offensive on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7 amid an exchange of cross-border fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.

Israel has already dropped 65.000 tons of bombs on Gaza Strip, depleting their ammo stocks. Most of the land and sea corridors have been blocked by neighboring Arab countries in an attempt to stop the genocide on the Palestinian civilians.
At least 22,835 Palestinians have since been killed and 58,416 others injured, according to Gaza’s health authorities, while nearly 1,200 Israelis are believed to have been killed in the Hamas counter attack.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins, with 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure damaged or destroyed, and nearly 2 million residents displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicines.
