Israel (ISR) Lebanon Talks Begin After 34 Years of No Dialogue

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that negotiations between Israel and Lebanon will commence, marking the first high-level talks since 1993. This follows a trilateral meeting involving U.S., Israeli, and Lebanese officials, aimed at launching direct negotiations. Trump highlighted that the last significant communication between leaders from both countries occurred 34 years ago. During the meeting, discussions were aimed at moving beyond the 2024 ceasefire agreement and towards a comprehensive peace deal. The developments come amid ongoing tensions following a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, triggered by a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
