Lebanese-Israeli military negotiations at the Pentagon to discuss a ceasefire

The Pentagon's headquarters witnessed the launch of a round of direct military negotiations between the Lebanese and Israeli sides under US auspices, in a move aimed at finding solutions to the ongoing security crisis in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese delegation is led by former Ambassador Simon Karam, who was chosen by the President of the Lebanese Republic for his diplomatic experience and knowledge of the negotiation mechanisms with the Israeli side. The delegation also includes the Ambassador of Lebanon in Washington Nada Mouawad and military attaché Brigadier General Oliver Hakima. The Lebanese delegation's priorities focus on achieving an immediate ceasefire and ending destructive operations in the south, along with ensuring the withdrawal of Israeli forces and emphasizing the role of the Lebanese army in maintaining security stability. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam affirmed the seriousness of the Lebanese state in implementing the arms control decisions and extending its authority over the entire Lebanese territory. This military tour completes the The diplomatic talks scheduled to hold their fourth round in Washington in early June, which confirms the complementarity between the diplomatic and military tracks to resolve the crisis. As these negotiations take place, Israeli escalation continues on the ground, with the IDF continuing to issue warnings to evacuate southern towns and launch raids on multiple areas in the south, leading to new waves of displacement and civilian casualties. The Lebanese delegation carries with it documented documents on The war situation, maps of destroyed villages and reports of the targeting of media personnel and paramedics, in an attempt to prove the extent of Israeli violations and pressure to achieve tangible progress in the negotiations.
