In a significant declaration on Friday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun assured the nation that any future agreements would robustly preserve Lebanon's territorial integrity and national rights.
His remarks marked his inaugural speech following the U.S.-facilitated ceasefire that brought a temporary halt to hostilities between Israel and the armed group Hezbollah.
The terms of the ceasefire include a proposal for direct dialogue aimed at establishing peace between Israel and Lebanon, although Aoun stopped short of outlining specific counterparts in these forthcoming discussions.
