Coordination is ongoing between Riyadh and the Lebanese state to extend the 10-day truce and ensure the success of direct negotiations between Beirut and Tel Aviv, informed Gulf sources told Nidaa al-Watan newspaper.

Lebanese President's Advisor Andre Rahal had visited Saudi Arabia in the past hours to discuss these files and reiterate Lebanon's commitment to Hezbollah's disarmament, the daily said.

President Joseph Aoun held a call Tuesday with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who praised Aoun's "bold steps" and affirmed the kingdom's willingness to support the Lebanese state in its path toward sovereignty.

WILL JOSEPH AOUN ALLOW THE CONTINUOUS RAPE OF LEBANON BY HIZBOLLAH? The best Arab nation has been raped by Iranian criminal mercenaries for decades. Hizb systematically destroyed our country to turn it into Iranian rocket base. As mass-murderer regime in Iran willingly killed & sacrificed its people for self-preservation & arms worship, so HizbIran was shelling its own cities pretending it defends them. Israel built a wall to protect its borders. After Cedar Revolution & call to disarm HizbIran, Hizb used Shebaa excuse & started 2006, 2024 & 2026 Wars to keep its arms at service of Iran. Best surveys show less than 20% of Iranian support their regime. Basically the Basij, profiteers & brainwashed worshipers of Khamenei billionaire criminal dynasty & its Suleimani’s kiss of death policy that destroyed Arab Shia. Even less Lebanese Shia support Hizb. Look at Assad 95% support that disappear when no longer armed. Hizb is a gift to Israel radicals. Disarm Hizb by force to protect Lebanon.
