US EditionLebanon's President Calls for Talks with Israel on Plan to End Hezbollah Conflict
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun seeks international support for talks with Israel to disarm Hezbollah and restore border security amid recent deadly conflict.
- On Monday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun proposed direct talks with Israel under international sponsorship to secure a truce, disarm Hezbollah, and restore border stability, accusing Hezbollah of betraying Lebanon.
- After Hezbollah's March 2 attack on Israel, the Lebanese government declared Hezbollah's military activities illegal last week but admitted it lacks the Lebanese armed forces' power to disarm the group alone.
- At least 486 people have been killed and at least 1,313 wounded, Lebanese authorities say, with more than 660,000 registered as displaced amid strikes on Hezbollah-linked sites including Al-Qard al-Hassan and the Islamic Health Committee.
- With the Israeli military chief and sceptical experts, Israel's stance limits diplomacy, as the chief says operations will continue until Hezbollah is disarmed, and analysts warn negotiations are 'vain' without disarmament progress.
- Regional military moves include Syria bolstering border troops and Ahmed al-Sharaa, Syrian President, saying, 'We stand alongside Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in disarming Hezbollah'.
