Report: Aoun's call for indirect talks with Israel accepted locally and externally
President Joseph Aoun’s latest call for indirect negotiations with Israel under U.S. and U.N. sponsorship enjoys the acceptance of the various local parties as well as externally, an informed source said.
“Clear signals supportive of the president’s initiative have been received, in parallel with direct and indirect contacts that encourage this course,” the source told al-Joumhouria newspaper.
A European diplomatic source meanwhile said that Aoun’s proposal is “advanced” and reflects Lebanon’s desire to reach a political solution, adding that the EU encourages this approach.
The source added that they believe that the U.S. is interested in Aoun’s proposal.
