Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called for the implementation of a new ceasefire agreement with Israel, demanding a complete halt to all Israeli action against Hezbollah<\/a> during a virtual meeting with the President of the European Council Antonio Costa and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen on Monday.<\/p>\n

Aoun\u2019s proposed initiative included a request to establish a \u201ccomplete ceasefire\u201d with Israel and a plea for logistical support for the Lebanese Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

He stated that after receiving support, the Lebanese military will disarm Hezbollah and \u201cconfiscate all weapons\u201d from the terrorist organization.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously with attempting to disarm Hezbollah, Lebanon and Israel will engage in \u201cdirect negotiations under international sponsorship, to reach the implementation\u201d of ceasefire terms, Aoun suggested.<\/p>\n

Aoun noted that on March 2, the Lebanese government announced a ban on all Hezbollah military actions<\/a> after the terror group launched strikes against Israel in an attempted retaliation for the death of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n

He decried Hezbollah\u2019s attack as an attempt to lure the IDF into conflict with Lebanon perpetrated by those who want to \u201cbuy the fall of the Lebanese state\u2026 at the price of destroying dozens of our villages and the fall of tens of thousands of our people for the sake of the Iranian regime<\/a>‘s calculations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aoun lamented the impact of Israel\u2019s retaliation against Hezbollah, stating that more than 600,000 Lebanese citizens have been displaced as the terror group continues to launch missiles and drones into Israeli territory.<\/p>\n

Hezbollah\u2019s strikes, he said, were \u201ca trap and an almost overt ambush for Lebanon and the Lebanese state and the Lebanese people.\u201d<\/p>\n

He additionally expressed solidarity and support for Middle Eastern nations that have been \u201ctreacherously and reprehensibly targeted by the Iranian regime,\u201d including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, and Jordan.<\/p>\n

Since March 2, the IDF has killed over 200 Hezbollah fighters and destroyed numerous terror infrastructure sites, including command centers.<\/p>\n

As of Wednesday, the Israeli Air Force has carried out over 500 strikes<\/a> on targets in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The military has additionally struck Iranian regime and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sites in Lebanon as part of Operation Roaring Lion and retaliation for Hezbollah joining Iranian attacks on Israel.<\/p>\n
