Netanyahu to speak to Lebanon's Aoun, Israeli minister claims Gila Gamliel, Israel's science and technology minister, has claimed Benjamin Netanyahu will speak to Lebanese President Josph Aoun. Gamliel, who belongs to Netanyahu's Likud party, told Army Radio the contacts would take place "after so many years of disconnect between the countries". "Lebanon needs assistance at this time because it lacks the necessary capabilities, and with the involvement of the United States and Israel, it will ultimately be possible to meet the need to disarm Hezbollah," she said.
