Trump Brokers Historic Israel-Lebanon Talks After 34-Year Freeze
US president announces first talks between Israeli and Lebanese leaders in over three decades, aiming to ease tensions and foster regional cooperation.
Washington, D.C. - In a surprise diplomatic move, US President Donald Trump has announced that the leaders of Israel and Lebanon will hold direct talks for the first time in 34 years on Thursday. The unprecedented dialogue between the two nations, which have been in a technical state of war since 1948, could pave the way for de-escalating regional tensions and potentially lead to breakthroughs on issues ranging from border disputes to economic cooperation.
Trump revealed the upcoming talks during a press conference at the White House, stating that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri will participate in the historic conversation. "This is a big step, a giant leap in the right direction," the president said, adding that he expects the discussion to cover a wide range of bilateral and regional matters.
