Trump says Israel, Lebanon leaders to hold talks Thursday

US President Donald Trump says the leaders of Israel and Lebanon will speak on Thursday in what would be an unprecedented direct contact, though officials in both countries have yet to confirm any such plan. Trump’s comments came as Washington tries to ease hostilities after the first direct talks in decades between the two nations’ ambassadors, who met in the US capital this week. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2 when Hezbollah, the Iran‑backed armed group based in the country, launched attacks on Israel. Since then, Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed more than 2,000 people and displaced over a million, despite international calls for a ceasefire, while Israeli ground forces have pushed into the country’s south. Posting on Truth Social, Trump said he was “trying to get a little breathing room between Israel and […]

Israel has launched air strikes across Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions after the Iran backed group fired missiles and drones at Israeli territory in response to the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Hezbollah rejects any Lebanon-Israel negotiations, vows to defend itself

Hezbollah has rejected the possibility of political negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, declaring on Thursday that any such dialogue would “not serve the national interest.” The statement, released amid mounting U.S. and Egyptian pressure on Beirut to open talks with Tel Aviv, reaffirmed the Iran-backed group’s stance as tensions rise along the Israel-Lebanon border.

Lebanese Judge Grants Gaddafi’s Son $11m Bail

A Lebanese judge has ordered the release of Hannibal Gaddafi, son of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, on an $11 million bail after nearly a decade in pre-trial detention. Gaddafi was arrested in 2015 and accused of withholding information about the 1978 disappearance of Lebanese Shiite cleric Mussa Sadr. The judge also imposed a travel ban. His lawyer has called the bail "totally unacceptable," arguing that his client, who is under international sanctions, cannot pay such a sum. The lawyer plans to challenge the decision and has previously raised concerns about Gaddafi's deteriorating health. The case has long strained relations between Lebanon and Libya, with Beirut blaming the elder Gaddafi's regime for the cleric's disappearance.
