Hezbollah rejects Lebanon-Israel talks

Hezbollah rejects Lebanon-Israel talks

The talks, brokered by the United States, aim to establish a permanent ceasefire and resolve long-standing border disputes.

Hezbollah's senior officials argue that the negotiations legitimize the Israeli occupation and undermine Lebanon's sovereignty.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told troops in southern Lebanon that the fight against Hezbollah is far from over, despite the diplomatic efforts.

The rift within the Lebanese government over the talks threatens to further destabilize the country as it navigates the broader regional conflict.
