‘Out of Question’: Lebanon’s Aoun Rules out Peace with Israel
News - Middle East - Lebanon: Lebanese President Michel Aoun has ruled out peace with the “Israeli enemy,” a day after the sides signed a deal that demarcates their maritime border in the Mediterranean Sea.
“The idea of peace with the Israeli enemy is out of the question,” he said, noting that the talks with the Israeli regime were indirect and that the deal was brokered by US mediation.
He also said that the regime “cannot withdraw” from the maritime deal.
Lebanon and Israel separately signed the US-brokered deal on Thursday. The final paperwork was submitted to the United Nations in Naqura, South Lebanon, concluding a long path of indirect negotiations of 12 years with the Israeli regime.
Separately on Friday, the outgoing president told LBCI that Lebanon “demarcated the borders to avert war,” and that the agreement was “the outcome of national interests and stability.”
“There are no papers, signatures, or anything else in the process of signing the demarcation agreement that could indicate a peace agreement [was made],” he said.
