Lebanese President Rules Out New Negotiations With Israel For Now
Joseph Aoun says Israeli withdrawal, return of prisoners and displaced people, and reconstruction remain 'national principles' for Lebanon, according to Anadolu Agency.
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.
