Lebanon’s president says talks with Israel needed

Joseph Aoun says his country and Israel should negotiate to resolve problems remaining since the war in Lebanon ended with a ceasefire in November.

“Lebanon negotiated in the past with Israel with mediation by the United States and the United Nations,” Aoun said, adding that talks led to a 2022 agreement between the two countries over their maritime border.

“What prevents repeating the same thing to find solutions to pending matters, especially because war did not lead to results?” Aoun asked.

The atmosphere in the Middle East now is one of deals and agreements, and how negotiations could take place can be decided at the time, the Lebanese president said.

At best Gaza we'll get a 'ceasefire' where Israel targets people associated with Hamas and imaginary Hamas tunnels daily. Same as Lebanon.
