JAKARTA - Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is ready to hold talks with Israeli leaders to de-escalate the conflict between the two.
The statement was made by the president when he met with the ambassadors of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark in Beirut. The president confirmed Lebanon's full readiness to continue negotiations and discuss the security issues necessary to stop the Israeli attacks, according to the report.
Aoun also confirmed that he had conveyed Lebanon's stance to "a number of countries that seek to end Israel's attacks" on Lebanon, NNA reported, citing Sputnik, Tuesday, March 10.
Earlier on Monday, Israel announced the launch of a limited ground offensive into southern Lebanon targeting the Lebanese-based Shiite group Hezbollah.
On March 2, a barrage of rockets was fired from Lebanon into Israel, with Hezbollah claiming responsibility for the attack.
In response, the Israeli army then launched a massive attack on populated areas throughout the Lebanese country, including the capital. As a result, hundreds of thousands of residents began leaving their homes to seek refuge in safer areas of Lebanon.
