Netanyahu will speak with Lebanese President Aoun: Israeli minister

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Thursday, according to Israel's Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology Gila Gamliel, a member of Netanyahu's Likud party.

"The prime minister will speak for the first time with the president of Lebanon after so many years of a complete breakdown in dialogue between the two countries," Gamliel told Israeli Army Radio on Thursday. "This move will hopefully ultimately lead to prosperity and flourishing for Lebanon as a state," she added.

U.S. President Donald Trump had said the "leaders" of Israel and Lebanon would speak for the first time on Thursday. A Lebanese official source told AFP however that "we are not aware of any planned contact with the Israeli side, and we have not been informed of any through official channels."
