Israel Rejects Hezbollah Ceasefire

Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter clarified that the meeting on Tuesday will mark the first formal contact between the two governments but will exclude negotiations with Hezbollah.

Lebanon has demanded an immediate halt to Israeli attacks as a condition for starting meaningful peace talks.

Recent Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon have killed at least thirteen members of the state security agency.

Tensions remain high as Hezbollah continues to target Israeli military bases in response to the ongoing invasion.
