Italian PM Visits Lebanon Amid Border Tensions and Political Mistake
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati mistakenly greeted an aide to Italian politician Giorgia Meloni, thinking she was the Italian Prime Minister, upon the arrival of a delegation from Rome in Beirut. The Italian Prime Minister was in Lebanon to address the escalating conflict on the country's southern border with Israel, expressing the need to avoid further escalation. The hostilities have raised concerns of a broader conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with ongoing efforts to broker a ceasefire and resolve contested border issues.
