During a CNN interview, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun directed unusually strong criticism at Hezbollah, telling its Secretary-General Naim Qassem that 'the Lebanese people are not your people' and that they are weary of war. Aoun suggested that Iran uses Lebanon as a bargaining chip but did not rule out a meeting with Israeli PM Netanyahu, although such a meeting would only follow a ceasefire agreement. The report is based on a single channel.
