Report: Aoun convinced US of September 5 decisions
President Joseph Aoun’s contacts and the army’s weapons monopolization plan “necessitated Arab and international positivity toward the proposed settlement, which reached the extent of lauding President Aoun’s wisdom in managing the current period and preserving Lebanese domestic stability,” a media report said.
“Washington in specific has shown keenness on preventing chaos in Lebanon and saw in Aoun’s proposal an excellent way to resolve the conflict between the Israeli enemy and Lebanon, as long as the objective is monopolizing arms and ending wars,” ad-Diyar newspaper reported on Wednesday.
“That’s why the Americans moved toward Lebanon to assess how the military plan will be implemented and they heard from President Aoun and the Army Command that what’s important now is Israel’s withdrawal from the occupied southern border areas so that the Lebanese Army continues its deployment south of the Litani,” the daily said.
“President Aoun’s contacts convinced the Americans of the September 5 decisions, while Saudi Arabia agreed and did not object, seeing as it will judge the results and not the intentions,” ad-Diyar added.
