Joseph Aoun: “Turn the page on wars… and open a new page of hope, peace and stability”

Negotiations with Israel were progressing while reaffirming that Lebanon would not accept a continued Israeli presence on any part of its territory.

This agreement is a significant step toward restoring regional and international stability.

This is a flagrant violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and international law that threatens stability in south Lebanon.

Securing a complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and the return of Lebanese prisoners remained priorities in the negotiations.
