  "summary": "Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has stated that a security deal with Israel could be a prelude to peace, but emphasized that it is not possible to jump directly to a peace agreement. According to Free Malaysia Today, Aoun expressed his desire for a security agreement with Israel primarily to end the state of hostility and deploy the army on the border.\n\nAoun also stressed that disarming Hezbollah is non-negotiable, as reported by The Times of Israel. He called on the US, EU, and Arab countries to support Lebanon's military as it deploys across the country and works to disarm Hezbollah, as reported by Toronto Sun and Free Malaysia Today.\n\nAoun also mentioned that Lebanon wants a new force, European or otherwise, to replace UNIFIL when its mandate ends at the end of the year, in order to prevent a security vacuum in south Lebanon, according to Free Malaysia Today.",
