Senior Lebanese official: We're ready for a security agreement with Israel
A senior Lebanese official has announced that Lebanon is “willing to reach a security agreement with Israel that would be based on the Lebanese principles on which the president, the speaker and the premier agree.”
In remarks to al-Joumhouria newspaper, the official said the principles are “abiding by the cessation of hostilities agreement, halting the Israeli attacks, the Israeli army’s withdrawal from the points it occupies in south Lebanon, the release of the Lebanese captives, and full commitment to U.N. resolution 1701.”
The senior official, however, lamented that “Israel does not want to reach any agreement” and is rather “not concealing its main objective which is torpedoing Resolution 1701 and establishing a new situation near the border under the buffer zone label, which means maintaining the state of war.”
