Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Monday reaffirmed ongoing diplomatic efforts to ensure the Israeli enemy abides by its commitments and withdraws within the agreed timeframe, urging international stakeholders to uphold their responsibilities, according to state-owned National News Agency (NNA).
This came during his meeting with members of the Lebanese Economic, Social and Environmental Council.
“The sponsors of the agreement must assume their responsibility in assisting us.”
Under a truce brokered by Washington in November, occupation troops were granted 60 days to withdraw from southern Lebanon.
That deadline was later extended to 18 February, but the occupation requested that it keep troops in five posts in southern Lebanon, sources told Reuters last week.
