The meeting was held this afternoon and focused on the latest developments in Lebanon and the region in light of the current situation. During the visit, Jumblatt presented Aoun with a copy of his memoir, published under the title "A Destiny in This Levant: From the Civil War to the Impossible Peace." No further details were provided on the content of the discussion beyond the broad reference to Lebanon and regional developments.

After the meeting, Jumblatt said he supports negotiations and the armistice agreement if they lead to a gradual or complete Israeli withdrawal. He added that if the framework agreement leads to withdrawal and border demarcation, then "where is the problem?" He described that position as his personal view, saying it is "no more and no less."
