“There are no new negotiations with Israel at present,” Aoun told reporters during a visit to the southern city of Nabatieh, accompanied by army commander Rodolphe Haykal and the heads of Lebanon’s security agencies.

“The withdrawal, the return of prisoners and displaced people, and reconstruction are national principles that we pledge to implement,” he added in his comments carried by the state news agency NNA.
