Lebanon president hopes Israel talks 'beginning of the end' of country's suffering

Lebanon's president expressed hope that direct talks on Tuesday in Washington with Israel would lead to an end to the country's suffering after war erupted again.

"I hope that the meeting in Washington... will mark the beginning of the end of the suffering of the Lebanese people in general, and those in the south in particular," President Joseph Aoun said in a statement, adding that "stability will not return to the south if Israel continues to occupy its lands."

"The only solution lies in the Lebanese army re-deploying up to the internationally recognized border, and so being solely responsible for the security of the area and the safety of its residents, without the partnership of any other party," Aoun added.
