On Global News Today on Al Arabiya English, presented by Tom Burges Watson, the focus is on Lebanon after fresh Israeli strikes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has ordered his cabinet to open direct talks with Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah and establish “peace relations” between the two countries. Lebanon has spent the past 24 hours advocating for a temporary ceasefire to allow for broader talks with Israel.
A senior Lebanese official told Reuters it would be a “separate track but the same model” as a fragile truce brokered by Pakistan between the US and Iran.
