Israel and Lebanon have held their first direct civilian-level talks in decades, meeting at the UN peacekeeping base in Naqoura under a US-brokered ceasefire that halted the 2024 war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office described the Wednesday meeting as “historic,” while US envoy Morgan Ortagus was also present. The talks were conducted under a mechanism created after the November 2024 truce, marking a shift from previous military-only channels.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam cautioned that any economic cooperation with Israel could only follow a full peace agreement, stressing “we are still far from that.”

The discussions come amid rising border tensions and repeated Israeli accusations that Hezbollah is violating the ceasefire and rebuilding its military network. Hezbollah’s cross-border attacks in solidarity with Gaza triggered more than a year of hostilities, culminating in a major Israeli offensive that killed senior commanders and destroyed weapons depots.

Under the armistice, Lebanon’s army is tasked with dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure, though Israel insists progress is inadequate and has continued airstrikes—moves Beirut warns risk sparking a “new war.” Salam said disarmament depends on Israel withdrawing from occupied areas and invited US-French verification of remaining weapons sites. Netanyahu has urged Lebanon to join the Abraham Accords, but Beirut has rejected normalization. The last such direct talks occurred in 1983 after Israel’s invasion, producing an agreement that was never ratified.

  1. Revelation 13:8 “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
    The Bible is the most racist book ever written
    Because it is only talking to one group of people
    The House of Israel – the ELOHEEM – Origin heaven – the Spirit of Truth
    And out of concern for others
    Jacob Israel – the Creation – origin earth

    John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

    In the days of Jesus YAHWASUA the Traditions of the Elders
    Now the Traditions of Men
    Which mirrors the Beast of Revelation of 13:1 – the Governments of Men
    As opposed to the Holy City New Jerusalem
    The Government of YAHWAH ELOHEEM God ‘In’ earth
    Righteousness as opposed to evil
    It is the evil that is taken out not the good
    Rapture is rupture total BS

      Which epitomizes what is happening now
      We are the ELOHEEM – lesser Gods – standing on the sand of the sea (Psalms 82:6)
      Revelation 13:1 – 21:1
      The waves don’t quite reach Us
      Not of the earth
      But in and on the earth – a dichotomy – a spirit and a soul
      The two not being the same thing – all souls die

  2. Dear Lebanon-
    Based on the ongoing deflections, lies and subterfuge that Israel is noted for, do not expect Israel to be honest and accommodating!
    Lying, false narratives and broken ceasefires, etc. are all part of the modus of Israel…

    The Lebanese need to WTFU and look at the map of a planned ‘Greater Israel’ that swallows-up Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and the plan of New Khazaria (Ukraine & SW Russia) which Russian resident Putin is thankfully winning to prevent another repeat of the 66 million Russian Orthodox Christians thatwere murdered from 1917-1991 by Bolshevik J3w$!
    & BTW- the ‘new’ leader of Syria is a…J3W!!
