Lebanon has decided to “engage in direct negotiations” with Israel with the aim of reaching a “permanent ceasefire and ensuring the complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territories”, Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi says.
– Fighting between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah started afresh on March 2 against the backdrop of the US-Israeli war on Iran.
– On April 23, the US announced a three-week extension of the fragile truce agreed between Lebanon and Israel, but without the participation of Hezbollah.
– Hezbollah’s leader on Monday rejected the talks with Israel, saying they would lead to instability.
