BEIRUT(RAHNUMA): Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Thursday said the next round of talks with Israel will begin on December 19, calling the reaction to initial negotiations this week “positive.”
“It is natural that the first session would not be highly productive, but it paved the way for upcoming sessions that will begin on the 19th of this month,” he said, according to information minister Paul Morcos at the end of a cabinet meeting.
Aoun also said reactions to the first round of talks on Wednesday were “positive” and said the direct talks between Israeli and Lebanese civilian representatives were aimed at avoiding a “second war.”
