Lebanese President announces continuation of negotiations with Israel

“We have decided to negotiate in order to end hostilities and the Israeli occupation of the southern regions, which will allow the Lebanese army to take positions up to the internationally recognized southern border,” he said.

Let us remind you: on April 14, the first direct negotiations between representatives of Israel and Lebanon took place in Washington in several decades. They were supposed to be followed by a telephone conversation between President Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the Lebanese side canceled it.

On April 16, US President Donald Trump announced a 10-day truce between Israel and Lebanon, emphasizing that his goal is to achieve a peaceful settlement. “It’s been my honor to have settled 9 wars around the world, and this will be the tenth, so let’s do it!” – added the US President.
