President Joseph Aoun announced Tuesday that negotiations with Israel are a “unanimous Lebanese choice.”

President Joseph Aoun stressed Monday that Lebanon’s “only choice” is negotiations with Israel.

“Lebanon has no choice other than negotiation, seeing as in politics there are three work tools: diplomacy, economy and war. When war does not lead to any result, what can we do? The end of every war in the world has been negotiation, and negotiation does not take place with a friend or an ally, but rather with an enemy,” Aoun added.

Hezbollah political bureau member Mahmoud Qmati has said that the “equation” that Israel is “trying to impose on Lebanon” will not continue and “will change.”

“As Lebanon, the state, diplomatic relations and Lebanese army and resistance, we will not allow that this equation remain above our heads and that this aggression continue against our land. The state must fulfill its promises and responsibilities, after it said that it will liberate the land and the captives, put an end to violations and begin reconstruction,” Qmati added.

Disarming Hezbollah and other non-state actors as well as “ending Iran’s proxy activities” is crucial to “ensuring peace and stability in Lebanon and across the region," a U.S. State Department official has said.

"An armed Hezbollah is a threat to Lebanon and its neighbors. The region and the world are watching carefully. A stable Lebanon will present attractive investment opportunities," the official told Fox News.

An Israeli drone strike on Monday targeted a car in the southern town of al-Sharqiyeh in the Nabatiyeh district, killing one person and wounding seven others, the Health Ministry said.

Al-Arabiya’s Al-Hadath channel identified the person targeted as “Hezbollah commander Mohammad Ali Hadid,” saying he had survived a similar drone strike overnight in the Zefta area.

There are “serious estimations” that Hezbollah has started to regain its capabilities and has succeeded in smuggling hundreds of short-range missiles from Syria, an Israeli official said on Sunday.

Israel warned Sunday that its military would step up its attacks against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, a day after the Lebanese health ministry reported four people killed in an Israeli air strike.

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem noted Friday that Israeli attacks on Lebanon increase whenever a U.S. official visits the country or talks about it.

“What is America's stance on 5,000 Israeli violations against Lebanon?” Qassem asked, in a televised address.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam held talks Friday in Bkirki with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi.

Speaking after the meeting, Salam said “the parliamentary elections will be held on their constitutional time.”

One person was killed and another wounded in an Israeli drone strike Friday on a motorcycle in the southern town of Kounine.

The Israeli army identified the slain man as Ibrahim Mohammad Reslan, claiming that he served as a maintenance officer for Hezbollah and was “attempting to rebuild Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure.”
