BEIRUT: In an attempt to restore peace in southern Lebanon, President Joseph Aoun outlined key priorities during talks with Thomas Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkiye and special envoy to Syria.
Aoun said his country needs US support to restore security and stability in the region.
He called for Israeli forces to withdraw from the five hills they occupy and urged an end to hostile actions.
Aoun also emphasized the need to extend UNIFIL’s mandate, which operates in coordination with the Lebanese army to implement UN Resolution 1701 and aims to deploy along Lebanon’s internationally recognized border.
Aoun revealed plans to bolster Lebanon’s military presence in the south.
