Aoun, Salam review Washington military talks and next round of negotiations

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Saturday at Baabda Palace to review the country’s general situation and recent security developments in the south amid ongoing Israeli strikes.

The meeting focused on what they described as continued Israeli attacks expanding into several southern towns and villages, particularly in the districts of Tyre and Nabatieh, along with the ongoing demolition of homes and destruction of historical sites.

The two leaders also discussed repeated warnings to residents to leave their homes, and agreed to intensify diplomatic contacts to halt what they called “condemned practices.”

Aoun and Salam also assessed a recent meeting in Washington between Lebanese, U.S., and Israeli military delegations, where Lebanon reaffirmed its priority of securing a ceasefire.

The talks also covered preparations for the next round of negotiations scheduled for June 2–3, as well as ongoing security conditions and the situation of residents displaced from their homes.
