President Joseph Aoun stressed that the survival of UNIFIL is the best means in the next stage. If this is not possible, create an alternative force to replace it. During his reception of the European Union Ambassador with a delegation of ambassadors and chargés d'affaires, Aoun called on the European Union to support the implementation of the "framework formula," noting that Lebanon's stability is reflected in the stability of the countries of the region. He said: “My meeting with President Trump was fruitful and the time has come to end the war once and for all,” pointing out that “Lebanon is committed to the path of reforms, and despite the war, we continue to work to achieve what we aspire to.” In turn, European Union Ambassador Sandra De Waele said: “Lebanon stands at a crossroads and the beginning of a new chapter, and we support it on the path of security, stability and reforms.”
