Israel, Lebanon hold historic talks

The talks were spurred by the devastating impact of the ongoing war, which has displaced over one million people in Lebanon and caused significant casualties on both sides.

While no immediate breakthrough was expected, the meeting represents a major shift in regional diplomacy and a potential path toward de-escalation.

Hezbollah has condemned the talks as a 'national sin,' highlighting the deep political polarization within Lebanon.

Simultaneously, Israeli forces continue to strike Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon, maintaining military pressure as the diplomatic process unfolds in the United States.
