Meanwhile, the Syrian president said that the American talk about a Syrian role in Lebanon does not mean direct military intervention, but rather a positive role within the framework of Lebanese state institutions aimed at stopping the war and finding peaceful paths to a solution.
He explained that the Syrian approach to a solution in Lebanon was presented during communications and discussions with the United States and a number of international parties, and focuses on the need to immediately halt military operations, address the effects of the war on Lebanon and Syria, along with exploring solutions that go beyond traditional frameworks that are no longer able to produce practical results.
