Lebanese President Joseph Aoun says an agreement on implementing a ceasefire announced in Washington after talks with Israel is the “last chance” to reach a comprehensive truce.
“The results of the fourth round of negotiations, and the statement issued from it, which included very important points in Lebanon’s favor, represent the last chance to enter into a final, comprehensive ceasefire. Each party bears responsibility” if it fails to respond positively, Aoun says, according to a statement from his office.
Aoun says Lebanon will inform the United States of its position “as soon as responses are received from the concerned internal parties, particularly Hezbollah,” referring to the Iran-backed terror group that attacked Israel on March 2, starting the ongoing conflict.
He adds that the US would determine the ceasefire’s start date and “President Donald Trump will be the direct guarantor of its implementation.”
