Speaking to reporters in Basta, accompanied by two Hezbollah lawmakers, Ghalibaf denounced what he called Israel’s “crimes”.
“International organisations and the UN Security Council have the capability (to stop Israel) but they are unfortunately keeping silent,” he said.
Earlier Saturday, Ghalibaf met Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who told him his government’s priority was “to work towards a ceasefire”, Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) said.
Mikati had on Friday urged the United Nations to pass a resolution calling for an “immediate” ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
Ghalibaf told reporters after meeting his counterpart Nabih Berri, a key Hezbollah ally, that Iran “will certainly support the decisions of the Lebanese government, the Lebanese people, and the resistance (Hezbollah) in this period”.
