RIYADH: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received a telephone call from Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.
During the call, they discussed the latest developments in Lebanon and the region, as well as efforts being made to achieve security and stability.
Aoun expressed his appreciation to the crown prince for Saudi support for Lebanon and the Kingdom’s continued assistance in all circumstances.
The crown prince affirmed the Kingdom’s support for Lebanon in upholding its sovereignty and its efforts to preserve its resources, territorial integrity, and unity.
A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah mediated by Washington came into effect last Thursday, but Israeli forces remain deployed in a belt of Lebanese land 5 to 10 km deep along the entire border.
New talks between Lebanon’s and Israel’s US ambassadors will take place Thursday in Washington, according to a US State Department official, after the first direct talks between the two countries in decades were held on April 14.
