Beirut: MP Bilal Abdallah on Tuesday said Lebanon was doing everything necessary to protect its people and territory, while relying on the US side sponsoring Lebanese-Israeli talks to exert maximum pressure on Israel to stop daily attacks and ongoing violence. According to National News Agency - Lebanon, Abdallah stated in an interview with Sawt Kul Lebanon radio that issues including Israeli withdrawal, prisoner exchanges, and reconstruction would be addressed later if efforts to consolidate the ceasefire succeed.
