- Aoun vows Lebanon won’t surrender territory to Israel
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun defended a US-backed peace framework with Israel as a 'diplomatic war' and vowed not to surrender territory, amid Syrian assurances of no military intervention. The agreement aims to establish Lebanese authority in southern Lebanon as Hezbollah disarms and Israel withdraws, though Israeli forces remain in 'security zones'.
