Aoun: Any settlement will be through us, not at our expense
President Joseph Aoun stressed Wednesday that any settlement for the war in Lebanon will take place through the Lebanese state and not at its expense.
"The assurances we have received, and what we insist upon, is that Lebanon's path in the negotiations is independent, although we are certainly in favor of a ceasefire and we welcome any country that helps us, including Iran," Aoun said.
"The Lebanese state is conducting the negotiations and is sovereign in its decisions. No one can take its place, and any settlement will be reached through us, not at our expense," the president added.

You received “Assurance” from who? You think their assurances worth a cent? You are a 100% a weak puppet with zero leverage. You are a fool. Your LAF soldiers are getting killed without firing a shot and those who are giving you assurances are encouraging Genocidal Israel to kill more.

Hezbollah has said multiple times that it will overthrow the Aoun government if it pushes Hezbollah too hard to do something (disarm) that it doesn't want to do. And they have the military might to do that.

The quicker President Aoun signs an agreement with Israel, the better for Lebanon. It is about time that UNIFIL either joins LAF to get rid of Hizballah or leaves Lebanon permanently. If the G7 countries are really interested in enabling Lebanon to rehabilitate, then they will offer to send in "boots on the ground".
