Lebanese President Rules Out New Negotiations With Israel For Now

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has ruled out entering into new negotiations with Israel at this time, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.

Aoun reportedly said that Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory, the return of prisoners and displaced people, and reconstruction of areas affected by conflict are "national principles" that Lebanon continues to uphold.

The Turkish state-run news agency did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding the context of Aoun's remarks or when they were made.

Lebanon and Israel have a history of tension along their shared border, and previous rounds of indirect talks between the two countries have addressed issues including maritime boundaries and security arrangements.

Anadolu Agency's report indicates that, according to Aoun, any future negotiations would need to address these principles, though he did not outline a specific timeline for renewed talks.
