I saw another article (can't remember which sub) that said Lebanon 's leader was refusing to meet with Bibi (after this tweet came out), so we will see.

I think it was just the president who refused, not the prime minister. Given the power dynamics of the Lebanese state I don't think the president refusing will actually impeed negotiations.

What does it matter unless Hezbollah agrees to anything

Any effort to disarm or displace Hezbollah would benefit from Lebanon being in agreement. Frankly, I would expect there's been some behind the scenes coordination recently to try and minimize the risk of IDF strikes hitting the Lebanese Army or getting in unintended firefights.

Hezbollah is the one Israel is actually fighting These as re talks with Lebanon, not Hezbollah. Lebanon is the one that unfortunately doesn't matter in this situation. Lebanon wants the attacks on them to end, but Israel will not stop attacking Lebanon until a deal with Hezbollah is reached. Lebanon has little to no ability to stop Hezbollah

The fun part about this war is leaders trying to trick each other by announcing things on Twitter Pakistan tried to sneak in the non existent Lebanon ceasefire, after everything settled Iran silently agreed to continue not bombing Israel as Israel bombs Lebanon. It really seems like Pakistan did a quick us-Iran ceasefire only for Iranian / strait areas, and tried to add Lebanon via tweet Now Trump is trying to make this non existent phone call trying to happen when the Lebanese president never agreed to it. Hoping he’ll feel bad after seeing a tweet (?!)

“Trump says” on Truth social. Maybe it is true. Just as likely Trump is once again doing his thing of being a manager or CEO who says “Yeah, these two people definitely will do this thing” without talking to either beforehand. Expecting the weight of who he is and his position will somehow compel them to act. Even if the two in question don’t work for him.

Israel has made peace with several neighbors. They have no beef or territorial dispute with Lebanon. Why wouldn’t peace talks work?

I doubt that slime, Netanyahu, will come out of hiding from committing war crime atrocities to do any kind of negotiations for peace.
