Aoun reportedly explores possibility of Oman facilitating talks with Israel

The main meeting between President Joseph Aoun and Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman on Tuesday included in-depth discussions on various issues, with Aoun providing a detailed explanation of the Lebanese situation, particularly in the South, in addition to the work of the Mechanism committee and the ongoing Israeli attacks, media reports said.

“Given the Sultanate's role and its strong relations with various countries in the region, especially the United States and Iran, the discussion addressed the possibility of Muscat contributing to facilitating Lebanese-Israeli negotiations by playing a mediating role to bridge the gaps and push towards practical results,” the Nidaa la-Watan newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The expanded meeting also addressed strengthening bilateral relations, with a focus on activating joint committees, intensifying meetings, and enhancing cooperation in the aviation sector. The talks are expected to continue today, Wednesday due to the importance of the issues under discussion.
