    ❗️Aoun calls for 1949-style armistice with Israel, calls decision to go to war ‘treason’

    Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said on Monday that direct talks with Israel are intended to bring an end to the war.

    “My goal is to reach an end to the state of war with Israel, similar to the armistice agreement (1949),” Aoun said in a statement, adding that “I assure you that I will not accept reaching a humiliating agreement.”

    “Those who dragged us into war in Lebanon are now holding us accountable because we made the decision to go to negotiations … What we are doing is not treason. Rather, treason is committed by those who take their country to war to achieve foreign interests,”

    he said.

      🇱🇧❌🇱🇧 — Lebanese President Joseph Aoun:

      What we are doing is not treason; rather, treason is committed by those who drag their country into war to serve external interests.

      Some claim that we have gone to negotiate in surrender; to them we say: wait for the negotiations to begin and then judge the outcome.

      Some say that we decided to negotiate without a national consensus; did those who went to war do so with a national consensus?

      How long will the people of the South continue to pay the price for the wars of others on our land, the latest of which are the war to support Gaza and the war to support Iran? If the war were for the sake of Lebanon, we would have supported it, but when the goal of the war is to achieve the interests of others, I reject the war entirely.

          Justifying his actions as not constituting treason, while accusing the people keeping Lebanon from being invaded as treasonous, as he submits to the forces invading you without any guarantee.

          It’s absurd to me that anyone takes the Lebanese political system seriously when it produces such buffoons like this.

          Lebanon is an ungovernable entity in its current state. The explicitly sectarian division of power can only lead to results like this. I have no clue how some Lebanese can be so nationalistic when their nation has one of the most broken governing systems on the entire region.
