Speaking to CGTN, the Arab League's assistant secretary-general Hossam Zaki has asked who benefits from Israel being in what is currently Lebanese territory. ⁣
⁣
Zaki told CGTN that continuing Israeli presence will only exacerbate tensions and incite "resistance". ⁣
⁣
"Who would want that? After all what we've been through, who would want the cycle to restart again?,” he said. ⁣
⁣
“I hope that the Israelis do not want it, because if they do, that would be very Machiavellian, and I think it would be counterproductive, and it will not serve anybody's purpose – including the Israelis." ⁣
