Report: Intensive contacts underway, Lebanon-Israel talks may follow
High-level diplomatic contacts are underway between Lebanese officials and influential countries in an attempt to contain the escalation and avert a widespread attack on Beirut's southern suburbs, An-Nahar newspaper reported late on Thursday.
According to the information, the efforts have intensified in recent hours amid growing fears of expanded strikes, and diplomatic activity aims to prevent a further deterioration of the situation on the ground.
The information suggests that these contacts may lead to the initiation of urgent negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, mediated by the United States and France, in parallel with a proposal to reactivate the Mechanism committee to conduct a comprehensive survey of the Beirut southern suburbs under the supervision of the Lebanese Army.
