The following statement was issued from the media office of Prime Minister Najib Mikati:
"There are reports circulating stating that the Prime Minister signed a proposal for a ceasefire agreement after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein. This statement is entirely untrue, and we would like to remind everyone of what the Prime Minister announced immediately following the joint call initiated by the United States and France, with the support of the European Union and several Western and Arab countries, to establish a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon. The Prime Minister stated verbatim: 'We welcome the statement, but the proof lies in the implementation through Israel's commitment to executing international resolutions.'"
Mikati denies: I did not sign
