Lebanon president says Wednesday's deal 'last chance' for comprehensive truce
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said that an agreement on implementing a ceasefire announced in Washington after talks with Israel was 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 favour, represent the last chance to enter into a final, comprehensive ceasefire. Each party bears responsibility" if it fails to respond positively, Aoun said, according to a statement from his office.
Aoun said Lebanon would inform the US of its position "as soon as responses are received from the concerned internal parties, particularly Hezbollah", adding that the US would determine the ceasefire's start date and "President Donald Trump will be the direct guarantor of its implementation".
