Lebanon and Israel meeting today

Another uncertain diplomatic meeting happening on U.S. soil

With the Middle East on edge, and the world watching after failed U.S.-Iran talks, a lesser-known diplomatic meeting is set for today between Israel and Lebanon.

Diplomats from both sides are scheduled to meet on U.S. soil, at the State Department, to discuss an end to Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah that parallel the combined U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran.

At issue is a ceasefire, which will be demanded by Lebanon’s ambassador at the same time the IDF is striking Hezbollah targets in and around Beirut. That ongoing military operation is a counterattack after the terrorist group, which is funded and supported by Iran, launched cross-border attacks when the U.S. and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury.
