Lebanon asks for Greek help to bring peace with Israel Lebanon's Joseph Aoun is asking for Greece's help in implementing an agreement to end the war with Israel. During meetings on Monday in Athens, Aoun told Greek President Constantine Tassoulas and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis that Lebanon has been through long wars and “its people are tired.”He suggested that Greece has good relations with both Lebanon and Israel and could help facilitate an end to decades of war.In comments aired by local TV stations, Aoun referred to the U.S.-brokered framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel that was signed in late June, saying “we ask Greece to do all it can to help Lebanon in implementing the agreement.”In an apparent reference to daily Israeli airstrikes and shelling despite a June 20, Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, Aoun said that “trying to solve the problem through military force will not succeed.” He said that the agreement “should not be implemented by one side but both sides.”Mitsotakis told Aoun that “the security of Lebanon and Israel are not conflicting goals.” “Greece, as a traditional friend of both Lebanon and the Arab world, but also a strategic partner of Israel, stands ready to support every effort toward de-escalation and mutual understanding,” he said.
