JAKARTA - Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told the media on Thursday that the US-mediated ceasefire agreed between Lebanon and Israel on Wednesday night could take effect within 24 hours after all parties concerned agreed to it.
The comment appeared to refer to Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, which has yet to comment on the ceasefire announced after talks between Lebanon and Israel in Washington.
The Hezbollah group opposes direct talks and continues to fire at Israeli forces in Lebanon. Israel continues to carry out attacks.
President Aoun also said the agreement on the implementation of a ceasefire announced in Washington after talks with Israel was a "last chance" to reach a comprehensive ceasefire.
"The results of the fourth round of negotiations, and the statement issued from it, which includes very important points that benefit Lebanon, are the last chance to enter a comprehensive final ceasefire. Each party is responsible" if it fails to respond positively, President Aoun said, according to a statement from his office, launching Al Arabiya, Thursday (4/6).
President Aoun said Lebanon would inform the United States of its position "as soon as a response is received from the relevant internal parties, especially Hezbollah," adding that the US would determine the date of the start of the ceasefire and "President Donald Trump will be the direct guarantor of its implementation."
