Each party bears responsibility” if it fails to respond positively, Aoun said, according to a statement from his office.Aoun said Lebanon would inform the United States of its position “as soon as responses are received from the concerned internal parties, particularly Hezbollah,” adding that the US would determine the ceasefire’s start date and “President Donald Trump will be the direct guarantor of its implementation.”Read more:
