Lebanese president says no Israeli reply on offer to negotiate in Hezbollah war

BEIRUT: Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said Friday he had not received a response to his offer to negotiate directly with Israel to try to halt its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war last week when Iran-backed Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US-Israeli strikes. Israel expanded its strikes in Lebanon on Friday, targeting multiple areas, while Hezbollah also launched fresh attacks against Israeli forces.
