<\/a>Israeli and Lebanese leaders to speak for first time in decades, Trump says<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\nJNS Staff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Israel\u2019s and Lebanon\u2019s leaders are expected to speak directly on Thursday for the first time in decades, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTrying to get a little breathing room between Israel and Lebanon. It has been a long time since the two leaders have spoken, like 34 years,\u201d Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt will happen tomorrow. Nice! President DJT,\u201d added the American leader.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump did not specify which leaders would take part, whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun or Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.<\/span><\/p>\n Israeli and Lebanese officials last engaged in direct, U.S.-backed talks following the 1982 First Lebanon War, culminating in the May 17 Agreement. The pact was the closest the two nations have ever come to a formal peace deal, but it was never fully implemented, and was formally canceled by Beirut in 1984.<\/span><\/p>\n Iranian-backed Hezbollah began firing rockets, missiles and suicide drones at Israel from Lebanon on March 2 in retaliation for the Jewish state\u2019s targeted killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the opening strikes of \u201cOperation Roaring Lion\/Epic Fury\u201d against the Islamic Republic on Feb. 28.<\/span><\/p>\n In response to the terrorist organization\u2019s violation of the U.S.-brokered Nov. 27, 2024, truce agreement, Jerusalem launched an aerial campaign against Hezbollah and ordered the Israel Defense Forces to take control of additional areas in Southern Lebanon to halt cross-border attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n Netanyahu announced on April 9 that Lebanon had requested the reopening of direct negotiations with the Jewish state aimed at disarming Hezbollah.<\/span><\/p>\n After more than two hours of talks that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter said that the most important outcome of the negotiations was that Jerusalem and Beirut are \u201con the same side of the equation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe are both united in liberating Lebanon from an occupation power dominated by Iran called Hezbollah,\u201d said Leiter. \u201cLebanon is under their occupation, and we are suffering from their constant barrages of missiles and terror attacks trying to cross our border.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stated after the meeting that he hoped the talks mark \u201cthe beginning of the end of the suffering of the Lebanese people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe only solution lies in the Lebanese army re-deploying up to the internationally recognized border, and so being solely responsible for the security of the area and the safety of its residents, without the partnership of any other party,\u201d said Aoun.<\/span><\/p>\n Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem on Monday had urged Aoun to cancel the talks, which he described as \u201cstabbing the resistance in the back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIsrael and the United States have openly stated they want to strengthen the army to disarm Hezbollah, fight it, dismantle its institutions and eliminate the resistance, its people and all who support it,\u201d said Qassem, according to a translation by Iran\u2019s official\u00a0Press TV<\/i>\u00a0outlet. \u201cThey want the [Lebanese] army to fight its own people\u2014something the army cannot and will not do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Rejecting negotiations with Jerusalem as \u201cfutile and humiliating,\u201d Qassem said Hezbollah would \u201cremain steadfast, keep our heads held high and liberate the land.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n IDF chief: Over 1,700 Hezbollah terrorists killed<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Israeli forces have eliminated more than 1,700 Hezbollah terrorists since the start of military operations in Lebanon, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said on Wednesday during a visit to the 162nd Division in Southern Lebanon.<\/span><\/p>\n Zamir met with senior commanders, conducted an on-site situational assessment and praised troops engaged in ongoing ground operations. \u201cHezbollah is weakened and isolated in Lebanon,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n Active operations are continuing in Bint Jbeil, led by the 98th Division, and in the Beit Leaf area, where the 162nd Division is working to dismantle terrorist infrastructure. Three additional divisions are stabilizing a forward defense zone in the region. Zamir said he has ordered all of Southern Lebanon up to the Litani River designated a no-go zone for Hezbollah.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you look behind you, you see the Israeli towns of Hanita, Zar\u2019it, and Shlomi\u2014we are fighting for them and for their long-term security and peace,\u201d said Zamir. \u201cThere are extraordinary acts of bravery here. We are paying heavy prices, but we understand this is our mission and we are moving forward. We will continue to strike Hezbollah operatives and dismantle terrorist infrastructure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n On Iran, Zamir said Israel and the United States had conducted a joint strike against what he called the \u201cIranian terror regime,\u201d degrading its defensive capabilities. He warned that Israel would not allow Iran to make advances on its nuclear program, in the Strait of Hormuz, or on other outstanding issues. \u201cAir Force aircraft are armed and prepared, and targets are loaded into the systems,\u201d said Zamir. \u201cWe know how to command them for a powerful strike immediately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Zamir said he had approved additional operational plans Tuesday in consultation with the General Staff Forum, covering both Lebanon and Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Israeli and Lebanese leaders to speak for first time in decades, Trump says JNS Staff \u201cTrying to get a little breathing room between Israel and Lebanon,\u201d wrote the American leader.
