Aoun: We negotiate for ourselves

W460

President Joseph Aoun stressed Monday that Lebanon would negotiate for itself regarding the conflict with Israel.

"We negotiate for ourselves, and we do not accept any other party doing so for us," Aoun said.

"We welcome any assistance that comes from any country to end the war, particularly as the situation in the region is interconnected," he added.

"But there is a big difference between trying to help us and interfering in our internal affairs," he said, alluding to Iran, which through Hezbollah has long wielded significant political influence in Lebanon.

Negotiate What? The terrorist entity has murdered 40 LAF soldiers even though they never fired a shot. Are you going to “negotiate” by getting on your knees and asking them to stop murdering LAF soldiers? In addition no LAF soldier will die for you so you are in no position to negotiate anything.
