Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told the Lebanese daily Al-Nahar that there is no truth to reports of a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to N12. Aoun said he is not considering such a meeting and would leave any room where Netanyahu is present, as long as Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians continue.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun denied reports of an upcoming meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with the Lebanese daily Al-Nahar, according to N12. Aoun said there is 'no truth' to the reports, that he is not considering such a meeting, and that he would immediately leave any hall where Netanyahu is present, as long as Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians and violations of Lebanese territory continue. The denial comes amid ongoing tensions on the Israel-Lebanon border, with Israeli airstrikes continuing in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Aoun had already stated in the same interview that he would not meet Netanyahu as long as attacks continue. The latest report, attributed to N12 journalist Sapir Lipkin, adds a specific denial of meeting reports.
