Israel and Lebanon are set to hold talks in the US, but Hezbollah rejects direct talks with Israel. These talks follow a truce between Iran and the US and aim to address the situation, with Netanyahu pushing for direct talks focused on disarming Hezbollah. Despite this, Israeli forces continue their military attacks against Hezbollah-linked sites across Lebanon.
Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Fayyad stated the group opposes direct negotiations with Israel, insisting the Lebanese government must condition talks on a ceasefire. He stressed that Israeli troop withdrawal and the return of displaced persons are prerequisites for any dialogue. This statement comes despite Israeli PM Netanyahu's directive to initiate direct talks.
