Episode Details

Lebanon and Israel are in historic direct talks brokered by the U.S., pushing for Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and full Lebanese military control — a bold step toward peace after decades of undeclared war. U.S. operations have begun in three pilot villages, though details remain secret, while Lebanese forces ramp up patrols. President Aoun and Secretary Rubio reaffirmed U.S. backing, stressing Lebanon must tackle Hezbollah to secure lasting peace — a move that risks sparking civil unrest. Meanwhile, Israel plans to keep a long-term security presence, and Hezbollah rejects the talks, favoring U.S.-Iran negotiations instead. Lebanon’s reformist government vows to disarm non-state actors and insists Israeli pullout and military aid are non-negotiable for stability.
