"Hezbollah isn't involved in those talks even though it is one of the parties to the conflict, which limits the chances of success from the outset and calls into question the legitimacy of any potential outcome."
"Hezbollah leader Naim Kassem said the group supports 'indirect negotiation diplomacy' only because direct negotiations serve Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump."
"Despite a truce on April 17, the Israeli military has continued to expand operations in southern Lebanon, including beyond the Litani River."
Diplomatic efforts between Israel and Lebanon are occurring alongside ongoing violence, with historic talks taking place for the first time since 1993. Despite being at war since 1948, fighting continues in southern Lebanon, primarily involving Hezbollah, which opposes Israel. Hezbollah's exclusion from negotiations raises concerns about the legitimacy and success of the talks. The group supports indirect negotiations but refuses direct talks, citing political motivations behind them. Meanwhile, Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon persist, complicating the situation further.
