Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group, has declared it will not recognize any agreements from the Lebanon-Israel talks in the U.S., which it opposes. These talks mark the first direct meeting between Lebanese and Israeli envoys in decades, aiming to negotiate a ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu seeks Hezbollah’s disarmament and a peace deal, but insists there will be no ceasefire. Meanwhile, U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan failed to include Lebanon in a ceasefire deal, despite Iran’s efforts. Following a truce announcement, Israel launched strikes on Lebanon, but attacks on Beirut have since ceased. The conflict, which began after Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran, has displaced over a million people in Lebanon and killed over 2,000. Many blame Hezbollah for involving Lebanon in the war, acting on Iran’s behalf.
