Trump says Israel and Lebanon's leaders will speak on Thursday
"The leaders of Israel and Lebanon will speak for the first time in 34 years on Thursday. This announcement came after envoys from both countries held direct talks in Washington, DC, to discuss an end to Israeli attacks on Lebanon."
"Israeli attacks since March 2 have killed more than 2,000 people in Lebanon and displaced more than 1.2 million others. The Israeli military has launched a ground invasion in southern Lebanon, seeking to seize more territory."
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to expand the invasion in southern Lebanon towards the east, while pursuing negotiations with the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah and achieve sustainable peace."
US President Donald Trump announced that the leaders of Israel and Lebanon will speak for the first time in 34 years. This announcement follows direct talks between the countries' envoys in Washington, DC, aimed at ending Israeli attacks on Lebanon. The situation escalated after Hezbollah resumed attacks on Israel in retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader. Israeli military actions have resulted in significant casualties and displacement in Lebanon, while Israel seeks negotiations alongside military efforts to disarm Hezbollah and achieve peace.
