Lebanon’s Saad Hariri: We are open to UN ceasefire with Israel
Prime minister said his government cannot do much about the threat of Washington's sanctions but expects US aid to the Lebanese army to continue
Saad Hariri was cautiously optimistic about the prospects of a maritime deal with Israel and said that Lebanon is ready “to move from cessation of hostilities to a ceasefire†with the Israelis under a UN mechanism.
The Lebanese Prime Minister spoke at a roundtable in Washington attended by The National on Thursday about the set of political and economic challenges that engulf Lebanon, and the threat of US sanctions.
“Our bilateral relation is very important with the US when it comes to aid, security cooperation, refugees, we are hoping to develop it, and to bring investments in the oil and gas sector,†he said, as negotiations between Israel and Lebanon mediated by Washington advance toward potential agreement about the maritime border.
