President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, told a delegation of Maronite bishops from the Diaspora: "The assurances we have received and what we continue to insist on is that Lebanon’s path in negotiations is independent, although we are certainly in favor of a ceasefire and welcome the support of any country that helps us, including Iran."
President Aoun stressed that "the negotiations are being conducted by the Lebanese state, which holds sovereign decision-making authority. No one can take its place, and any settlement will be reached through us, not at our expense."
