Israel and Lebanon Eye Breakthrough

The late-night announcement from the White House follows a rare trilateral meeting in Washington where both nations expressed a willingness to move toward a broader peace framework.

While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintains that his forces will continue to strike Hezbollah until a deal is reached, Lebanese officials are hopeful for an immediate cessation of hostilities.

The conflict has already claimed over 2,000 lives in Lebanon and displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians.

If successful, the talks would represent the most significant diplomatic shift in the region since the 1993 peace process.
