Lebanon’s President Aoun has said negotiations are ongoing to extend the ceasefire, warning that no party will be permitted to obstruct security measures or undermine stability, Al Jazeera reports.

“Preserving civil peace at this stage of our country’s history is a red line,” Aoun said on X, adding that he would “spare no effort to end the abnormal situation in Lebanon”.

Aoun said negotiations are anchored on four conditions: Stopping Israeli aggression, achieving an Israeli withdrawal, the return of prisoners, and the deployment of the Lebanese army.
