लेबनान-इज़रायल के बीच पहली बार वार्ता, रूबियो ने बताया ऐतिहासिक मौका – Israel Lebanon hold first direct talks decades Hezbollah mdsb ntc
Lebanon and Israel held their first direct diplomatic talks in decades in Washington on Tuesday. The talks took place after more than a month of war between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called it a historic opportunity, but also warned that no immediate success is expected.
The meeting, which lasted more than two hours, was a rare opportunity for engagement between two countries that have been technically at war for decades and have relied mostly on indirect communications.
Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, described the talks in very positive terms and pointed out that lebanon There was a similarity in the views of both sides regarding the role of Hezbollah.
Lighter said, “The Lebanese government has made it very clear that they will no longer be under the control of Hezbollah. Iran has been weakened. Hezbollah has also been weakened to a great extent.”
‘We are on the same side’
Lighter said the discussions revealed an unexpected rapport between the two sides, despite years of hostility and ongoing conflict between them. He said, “Today we realized that we are on the same side. This is the most positive thing that we have got from these discussions.” He further said, “We are both united in liberating Lebanon from the Iranian-dominated occupation group Hezbollah.”
These statements point towards a main topic of conversation. Both sides share common concerns about Hezbollah’s influence, even though the two countries remain divided on major political and security issues. However, there was no immediate comment from Lebanon. Lebanon was represented in Washington by its Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Mouawad.
What is the ground reality?
Despite diplomatic initiatives, the situation on the ground still remains tense. Hezbollah had opposed these talks and had no representation in these talks. He is continuously attacking northern Israel. On the other hand, the Israeli army is continuing its operations in southern Lebanon.
Neither Israel nor the Western-backed Lebanese army has been able to force Hezbollah to disarm. Hezbollah still has considerable military power and political influence throughout Lebanon.
The group’s absence from the negotiations highlights the limitations of any potential agreement, as its role remains central to this conflict and any future resolution.
