Lebanese channel MTV reports that President Joseph Aoun has informed the Americans he is not willing to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the outset of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, but only at the end if the talks succeed.
According to the report, the US understands Aoun’s sensitivity on the issue and is expected to soon set a date for a meeting between Aoun and US President Donald Trump.
