Israel decides who is the go-between.
They said it's better for Lebanon.

Israeli's envoys say a lot of shit all the time.
Lebanon was a french protectorate and has maintained friendly ties. Israël on the other hand has violated more than once french territory in the region.
France has territory, diplomatic ties and is a major power that can oppose Israël. Of course they have legitimity in peace talks and of course Israël is pissed they could.

**Was** a French protectorate. And what "French territory in the region" did Israel violate? Lebanon? What the hell is this neo-colonial bullshit? Lebanon is a country of its own, yes, with significant ties to France, but its not a vassal puppet state for gods sake. They can conduct peace talks on their own, and they can represent the interests of their country on their own. Stop treating them like a colony.

France has some territory in both Israel and Lebanon. Same as US has some territory in Normandy. It's actually pretty common for a country to have small territory inside another nation.
As for the peace talks : it's neither up to France or Israel alone to decide who participates. Historicaly it has always been better to use a neutral country (or at least one both belligerents agree on) to preside peace talks. That's why Pakistan is the mediator in current US-Iran conflict, for example.
So yes France can absolutely say they want to participate because they are worried about their territory and friend. And Lebanon can absolutely say no. But they didn't and only Israel is throwing a tantrum.

Maintained friendly ties?
The two countries have been at war twice in my lifetime (41 years old,)
The war started when hezbollah crossed into israel and kidnapped 2 border guards on israels side of the border.

ë or ï means you start a new sylable and avoid a diphthong. This also exists in English: Chloë, Brontë, naïve...

fun fact Brontë is a deliberate misspelling of Brunty

There isn't one correct way spelling in English because there is no governing body like the RAE for Spanish or the Rechtschreibrat for German. Usually correct spelling is just convention and some people wanted to change a convention. But I get what you mean because it is quite fringe.
But you would agree that naïve is relatively commonly used right?

Diaresis and Umalaut are only used in some loanwords from other languages, it is normal to remove them or replace them with a hyphen (Diaresis)/ vowel followed by an e (Umalaut) when used in English, but fine to use them as is; you cannot create a new word in English with accents.
Brontë isn't a loanword, it is a deliberate misspelling of the name Brunty to appear fancy/foreign.

It's a loanword from French, so no it's not. Just like Müller is not.
Normally they are spelt Naive and Mueller in English though.

There's no phoneme associated with ï in English. An English speaker would pronounce it as they would i in that position. Naive is used in english, but not pronounced as it is in French, and it is not spelt with an ï since that's not in the English alphabet.
The English word naive is loaned from the French naïve, but they're different words in different languages. Same with the other examples (aside from Brontë apparently! That's interesting).
