Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Thursday thanked US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for Washington's efforts to reach a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Aoun received a telephone call from Rubio and "thanked him for the efforts Washington has been making to reach a ceasefire", a statement from the Lebanese president's office said.
It did not mention any possible call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after US President Donald Trump said the Lebanese and Israeli "leaders" would speak on Thursday, with an Israeli minister saying Netanyahu and Aoun would talk.
