Lebanon’s Aoun welcomes help to end war, rejects interference in internal affairs

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun

President Joseph Aoun stated that Lebanon welcomes assistance to end the war with Israel but rejects any interference in its internal affairs, emphasizing that “no one negotiates on our behalf.” He called for a unified state representing all Lebanese. Iran will send a representative to a new ceasefire monitoring mechanism, part of the US-Iran understanding reached in Switzerland.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Monday welcomed international support to help end the Israeli war in Lebanon but firmly rejected any “interference in its internal affairs.” “We welcome any assistance to end the war, but we distinguish between assistance and interference in internal affairs because we are a sovereign country and no one negotiates on our behalf,” Aoun said during a meeting with a delegation from the Greek Catholic League. Aoun emphasized that his administration is determined to build “one strong state” that represents all Lebanese, adding that “the state, not sects, is what protects everyone.”

Ceasefire monitoring

Iran’s Mehr news agency reported earlier that Tehran will send a representative to a new mechanism expected to be established to monitor the ceasefire in Lebanon, as part of an understanding reached with the US during their talks in Switzerland. The mechanism would involve international oversight and could include representatives from the US, Iran, and Lebanon. Israel’s military offensive in Lebanon has killed more than 4,000 people, injured over 12,000, and displaced more than one million residents since March 2, according to Lebanese authorities. Israel continues to occupy areas in southern Lebanon, some held for decades and others seized during the 2023–2024 war.
