A visiting Sudanese envoy called here on Wednesday for more efforts to stop the Israeli "brutal aggression" on Lebanon, the official SANA news agency reported.

After meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem, Sudanese President Advisor Mostafa Othamn Ismael urged in a press conference for the withdrawal of the Israeli troops from south Lebanon.

Ismael also said that "What is going on in Lebanon gives a clear message to the western countries and Israel that resistance is permanent as occupation still exists on the Lebanese lands."

According to SANA, Assad and Ismael discussed during the meeting the latest developments of the Israeli aggressive war on Lebanon, means of supporting Lebanon's steadfastness and the Arab efforts on the regional and international levels.

Ismael, whose country holds a rotating presidency of the current session of the Arab League, relayed a message to Assad from his President Omar Hasan al-Bashir on Sudan's support to Syria in the face of "aggressive schemes", SANA said.

About 1,000 Lebanese have been killed and a quarter of Lebanon's population displaced since Israel launched a massive assault on Lebanon's Hezbollah in retaliation for the abduction of two Israeli soldiers.
