Lebanese President Joseph Aoun
Amanpour
Jun 5, 2026

In Lebanon, a US-mediated ceasefire shows little sign of holding. Four people were killed in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Friday; Hezbollah says it continues to target Israeli troops. Amid the turmoil, Christiane met with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Beirut for an exclusive interview. Aoun rarely speaks with foreign media, but is taking this step to send a message to the world about the fate of his nation.
