Lebanon Seeks Security Agreement with Israel for Peace
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has repeatedly expressed his country's desire to reach a security agreement with Israel. This agreement is seen as a potential prelude to peace between the two nations. Aoun has qualified that 'we cannot jump directly to a peace agreement' and has emphasized that disarming Hezbollah is non-negotiable. The Lebanese president has also urged the creation of a new force to replace UNIFIL when its mandate ends to prevent a security vacuum in southern Lebanon.99 sourcesSee all sources
