Lebanese President: No New Negotiations With Israel Currently
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stated on Tuesday that there are no new negotiations with Israel at the present time, emphasizing Lebanon's commitment to its national principles. During an unannounced visit to the southern city of Nabatieh, Aoun outlined these principles as Israel's withdrawal from occupied territories, the return of detainees and displaced persons, and reconstruction, asserting that the Lebanese state is committed to working towards their implementation.
The remarks come amid reports that the next round of direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel has been postponed until next month. An American source told Axios that the delay is due to several factors, including an upcoming international conference in Paris to support the Lebanese army, preparations for the UN General Assembly, and the Jewish holiday period. Despite the postponement of the round, a meeting between the ambassadors of Lebanon and Israel in Washington is still anticipated in the near future.
