Lebanese military delegation to present demands on Israeli escalation at US talks
A Lebanese military delegation will present Beirut’s demands to end Israeli attacks during a trilateral meeting in Tampa, Florida on October 20.
On October 20, a Lebanese military delegation will attend a trilateral meeting in Tampa, Florida, to present Beirut's demands aimed at ending Israeli attacks, according to a statement from the Lebanese presidency on X. This meeting comes as Lebanon and Israel have engaged in multiple rounds of direct talks since the outbreak of a new war between Israel and Hezbollah on March 2, following a broader regional conflict.
The presidency emphasized that the delegation's primary objective is to put forward Lebanon's demands for halting Israeli escalation, with the hope of achieving outcomes aligned with the framework agreement. As per an agreement brokered through US-mediated negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, Beirut had agreed to disarm Hezbollah, which was expected to result in a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory.
However, Hezbollah has adamantly refused to disarm, while Israeli forces continue to be stationed on Lebanese soil and Israel persists in its attacks on southern Lebanon.
