Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that, following repeated requests from Lebanon, Israel has decided to move forward with direct negotiations between the two countries as soon as possible.
The decision was approved in the cabinet, signaling a potential shift in regional dynamics after months of heightened tensions along the northern border.
According to Netanyahu, the talks will focus on two central goals: the disarmament of Hezbollah terrorists and the establishment of formal peace relations between Israel and Lebanon. He also welcomed the Lebanese prime minister’s call to demilitarize Beirut, describing it as a positive step that could support broader stability efforts.
