Lebanon’s president says he will do ‘impossible’ to end war with Israel




Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said on Monday he would do the “impossible” to stop Israel’s war on Lebanon, as Israeli strikes continued despite a ceasefire and direct talks between the two sides.

Aoun said Lebanon’s negotiating framework rests on Israeli withdrawal, a ceasefire, the deployment of the Lebanese army along the border, the return of displaced residents, and economic assistance.

“My duty… is to do the impossible, and to choose what is least costly, in order to stop the war against Lebanon and its people,” he said.

His comments came as Israel launched new strikes across southern Lebanon and issued evacuation warnings for three towns, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.

Hezbollah said it had fired a drone at an Iron Dome platform in northern Israel in response to Israeli “violations” of the ceasefire.

The truce, which began on 17 April, was extended last week for 45 days after talks in Washington, opposed by Hezbollah.

Lebanese authorities say Israeli attacks have killed more than 2,900 people since the war began, including over 400 since the ceasefire took effect.
