The President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, affirmed before a delegation from the Democratic Gathering the positions that enjoy national rationality that would achieve necessary support for the path of negotiations that will be launched after the establishment of the ceasefire. It is important for the Lebanese to interact with the unity of the national position to strengthen the Lebanese negotiating team vis-à-vis the Israeli negotiating delegation so that it does not exploit any internal loophole to achieve its goals. Aoun indicated that the Lebanese Ambassador to Washington, Nada Hamada Moawad, will represent Lebanon in the preparatory meeting scheduled for tomorrow at the US State Department to raise the issue of extending the deadline for the ceasefire agreement and for Israel to stop demolitions in southern villages and towns. Aoun said that Lebanon's approach in the upcoming negotiations is clear: no concession, no bargaining, and no surrender except for what achieves Lebanese sovereignty and the interest of all Lebanese. Aoun confirmed his constant communication with Presidents Nabih Berri and Nawaf Salam, former MP Walid Jumblatt, and several Lebanese leaders, to keep up with the contacts he made to establish a ceasefire and provide the appropriate atmosphere that protects Lebanon’s choice, because the current stage requires realism, wisdom, rationality, and awareness of the Lebanese reality, with everyone meeting this approach to contribute to ending the suffering of Lebanon in general and its south in particular, whose land has witnessed wars that have resulted since 1969 until today. Tragedies and torments whose repercussions we still face today. - The majority of political forces are aware of the severity of the stage and stand strongly against sedition and everything that harms civil peace in the country. President Aoun also received a delegation from the Parliamentary Committee for the Protection of Civilian Objects and the Prevention of Systematic Destruction, stressing that contacts are underway to extend the ceasefire deadline, and I will spare no effort to end the abnormal conditions that Lebanon is currently experiencing. He stressed that preserving Lebanese sovereignty over the entire territory is my first goal, and the negotiations being prepared are based on completely stopping the Israeli attacks, achieving Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory, the return of prisoners, the deployment of the army to the international border, and beginning the reconstruction of what was destroyed during this war. He continued: The American support that President Donald Trump informed us of, in addition to the support of brotherly and friendly countries, provided us with an opportunity that we should not waste because it may not be repeated. Aoun reiterated his emphasis that the return of the displaced to their villages is a priority, especially since the people of the south, and with them the people of Lebanon, are tired of the wars and suffering over the past decades, and the state will provide all facilities to achieve this return with dignity and vigor.
