Trump invites the leaders of Israel and Lebanon to the White House for the countries' first high-level talks since 1983

Yeah this is a fugazi so trump can pump the stock market like he’s doing claiming there’s going to be peace any minute now with Iran. He’s been saying all week there would be peace “in the next couple days” and still no meeting scheduled after they walked out of the last one.

Israel and Lebanon have a shared interest in eliminating Hezbollah. Unlike Palestine (in terms of Hamas), the Lebanese government knows this, even though they have no ability to act against them. So in theory, they could look for a framework to work together

It’s not performative. In the past this would have been impossible with Hezbollah’s stranglehold on the country. Just wanting to look into the cause of the massive explosion in the harbor nearly caused a civil war in the past. This is proof that Hezbollah is weak and does not control the country anymore. The Lebanese government is still worried about a civil war if they try to crackdown on Hezbollah themselves which is why they haven’t done anything significant. There is lots of work to be done but maybe, just maybe, this can lead to something good. 

If Lebanon meets with Israel, Hezbollah will probably double down and create more problems for Lebanon. I don't see the meeting happening

Fighting hezbollah...by killing a 1 year old infant at their dad's funeral...or doing a targeted strike on a anti-hezbollah leader in Beirut. They're annexing land. Settlers will move into this "buffer area" and then they'll have to annex more land in the name of the settlers to make a new buffer to protect them.

Israel is currently flattening Lebanon just like Gaza! Iran included Lebanon in the 10 point deal so both countries would be at peace but BiBi continues to bomb civilian infrastructure in the Middle East. Who knows what DT is doing. He's playing "Quien es mas macho?" when he should be getting out of the war or pushing up daisies.

I recognize the use and efforts of peace keeping forces. I have no objections to such operations, and I think there can be a world where Israeli troops can take part in such operations to help against terrorist organizations like Hezbollah. Let's be open and honest, call a s**** and s****. They aren't doing that in Lebanon. They say that is what they are doing as a cover story. We all know this is another annexation. The very moment that they have military control of a region, they will start moving in settlers. Israel doesn't have the credibility to claim otherwise. At this point I think it would be far better to let some other country in to conduct peace keeping. Maybe Turkiye, those guys dislike Iran and its proxies such as Hezbollah, and frankly would probably treat the Lebanese people with a little more sensitivity. But that really is more up to the people of Lebanon than me, living safely in a country very far away.

I hope so. Having it so clear and in plain sight, for all to see, would be refreshing, I'm tired of the deniability. Having them outright state in front of the media their goals of annexation would really help show everybody exactly what is going on. Zelenskyy being asked to say thank you was a wake up moment for a lot of people, showing that the Trump regime was no friend to Ukraine. I can only hope Lebanon is afforded the same sincerity.

They need to invite Lebanon and Hezbollah to the White House for peace talks. The conflict with Israel is only a result of the Lebanese government couldn't contain the parasite that is Hezbollah from having de facto control of the rest of the state.

"The bombings will continue, until our relationship improves"

Yes, they are sticklers for manners. That’s why Trump posted, “*Please* open the f****** Straight, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell. *Thank you*.” /s

i doubt they will do that, i feel the goal here is more of a performance to show iran that if they play ball they'll get "royalty" treatment as well.
