Benjamin Netanyahu has called for direct negotiations with Lebanon following intense airstrikes that have raised concerns over the stability of a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
Truth Live News International gathered that the latest wave of attacks reportedly left more than 300 people dead in Lebanon, marking one of the deadliest escalations in the ongoing conflict. The development has complicated efforts to maintain the truce announced by Donald Trump in the broader Iran-related war.
Israel maintains that the ceasefire does not extend to Lebanon, while Iran insists that any agreement must include its regional allies. This disagreement has become a major obstacle to de-escalation efforts.
Netanyahu stated that proposed talks with Lebanon would focus on disarming Hezbollah and establishing more stable relations between both sides. However, Hezbollah has rejected the idea of direct negotiations, insisting that a ceasefire must come first.
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts are underway in Islamabad, where initial discussions between U.S. and Iranian representatives are being prepared. Despite this, the situation remains volatile, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping activity has dropped sharply due to ongoing tensions.
Lebanon has declared a national day of mourning following the strikes, with officials reporting significant casualties and widespread destruction. The conflict continues to place pressure on regional stability, as both military actions and diplomatic efforts unfold simultaneously.
