The United States is once again positioning itself as a central actor in the Middle East. This Thursday, Israel and Lebanon will resume a second round of diplomatic talks in Washington
.The objective is clear: to move towards the end of the conflict and to eliminate the threat of Hezbollah.
Washington promotes negotiation The
meeting will be led by Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. Representatives from both countries and U.S. officials will participate
.The meeting marks the continuity of a diplomatic process promoted by Washington. It also reflects Donald Trump's leadership in the region.
After the first round, the United States managed to establish an initial truce that it now seeks to consolidate.
Hezbollah, the main obstacle to peace Since Israel,
they were overwhelming. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar pointed out that the main impediment is Hezbollah.“The obstacle to peace is one,” he said. The group, backed by Iran, is not participating in the negotiations
.This reinforces the need to move forward in their disarmament as a key condition for a lasting agreement.
Lebanon seeks to extend the truce
The Lebanese government plans to request an extension of the ceasefire. The objective is to prevent a new military escalation.
