Israel authorizing Lebanon Peace Talks

The proposed talks in Washington aim to create a buffer zone in southern Lebanon and provide an off-ramp for the escalating regional conflict.

Hezbollah has demanded an immediate ceasefire before participating in any discussions, while Israel insists on continuing its military operations against the militia's infrastructure.

The humanitarian situation in Lebanon is deteriorating rapidly, with hospitals overwhelmed and a million people displaced from their homes.

International mediators are racing to prevent the 'impasse' in Lebanon from derailing the broader peace efforts between Washington and Tehran.
