NNA - Prime Minister Najib Mikati contacted on Saturday Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, where they reviewed the developments taking place in Ain al-Hilweh camp.

During the call, PM Mikati stressed the priority of ceasing all military action and cooperating with the Lebanese security services to address the existing tensions.

The Prime Minister said: "What is happening does not serve the Palestinian cause at all and constitutes a grave insult to the Lebanese state in general, particularly to the city of Sidon which embraces the Palestinian brothers....What is required in return is that they deal with the Lebanese state in accordance with its laws and regulations, preserving the safety of its citizens."
