Report: Aoun to ask Barrack to implement some of Lebanon's demands

President Joseph Aoun insists on implementing the government’s decisions on arms monopolization and his firmness is not aimed at clashing with any component, Kuwait’s al-Anbaa newspaper quoted his visitors as saying.

“The Lebanese presidency will propose to U.S. envoy Tom Barrack -- who will be joined by Morgan Ortagus on his visit to Beirut on Monday -- that some of the Lebanese demands be achieved, especially as to the Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory and securing the northern border with Syria, while acknowledging in advance that a full Israeli withdrawal seems to be unlikely,” the visitors added.
