Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi said the framework agreement signed with Israel “is not a final agreement, but rather a basis for moving forward to complete negotiations”, reports Al Jazeera.
In a statement after meeting ambassadors of Francophone countries in Lebanon, Raggi said Lebanon “went to the negotiations because it did not have the luxury of options.”
Raggi further said that “confining arms to the hands of the state is not merely an external demand, but an urgent Lebanese need to establish a normal, strong and sovereign state.”
