Lebanese President Aims to Resolve Tensions with Israel Diplomatically
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reaffirmed his country's determination to end the state of hostility with Israel through diplomacy. He called for the full implementation of the framework agreement signed under American auspices between the two countries, which aims for a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon. This statement came ahead of a new round of direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel in Italy; the previous round in August ended without an agreement regarding expansion in the withdrawal zones. Aoun emphasized the importance of Lebanon’s stability as a means to ensure stability in the region and Europe, affirming that the solution lies in negotiation, not war. These comments are part of efforts to implement the framework agreement signed in June, aimed at ending the occupation. Lebanon also called on Greece for support to ensure the agreement’s implementation, with Greece reaffirming its support for the bilateral relations between the two countries.
