  • Lebanese president calls for diplomacy to end Israeli war

Diplomatic contacts are ongoing to stop the Israeli war on Lebanon, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said Sunday, stressing that diplomacy is necessary to end the conflict and reduce civilian suffering. He said that Lebanon has proposed an initiative starting with a ceasefire to pave the way for negotiations, but has not yet received a response from the other side.

The president warned that civil peace in Lebanon is a "red line," adding that security forces and the army are ready to confront any attempts to stir internal strife. He praised residents who have hosted displaced families and thanked friendly countries and aid organizations for their efforts.
