Report: Aoun, Salam seek ceasefire talks in Cyprus, UN coordinator to visit Israel

President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam are working on a "political-military initiative," political sources said.

"The military aspect is related to the need for the Lebanese Army to enter all Lebanese territory," the sources told Al-Jadeed TV.

"A discussion took place between Aoun and Salam on the need for the Lebanese Army to abide by the government's decision, especially after the army chief's latest statement which stirred controversy," the sources added.

"A civilian delegation will be formed to negotiate directly with Israel outside Lebanese territory, likely in Cyprus," the sources said.

The sources added that U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jeanine-Hennis Plasschaert will head to Israel for talks and will return to Lebanon to meet with Aoun.
