Lebanon’s Conditional Offer Sparks Shift in Israeli Stance

Upcoming negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, set to take place in Washington next week, are expected to be facilitated by the US on an ambassadorial level. In a surprising move, Lebanon has extended an olive branch to Israel, but this time with a caveat: direct talks can only proceed if a ceasefire is established. In response, Israel’s prime minister has expressed openness to the idea, yet reiterates that a ceasefire is out of the question, with military operations continuing to target Hezbollah. Notably, the pace of military operations has slowed in recent hours, with no attacks on Beirut since the large-scale assault on Wednesday. It remains unclear whether this decrease in aggression is deliberate or coincidental. Meanwhile, Israel’s prime minister has welcomed the Lebanese government’s decision to take control of Beirut and demilitarize the city, a move aimed at countering Hezbollah’s influence and ensuring the group’s absence from the capital.
