The US Embassy in Beirut and the Trump administration are reportedly working to advance a diplomatic track between Israel and Lebanon. They have suggested that it would benefit all sides if US President Donald Trump were to host a potential landmark meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. According to the embassy, such a meeting could help secure Lebanon’s territorial integrity, including a potential withdrawal of Israeli forces.
It remains unclear whether Hezbollah would agree to and uphold a ceasefire if Israel withdraws following the meeting. It is also uncertain whether President Aoun would attend amid continued Israeli strikes.
