Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam says it is premature to discuss any high-level meeting between Lebanon and Israel. Speaking in comments reported by Lebanon’s National News Agency, Salam’s remarks indicate that the likelihood of such a meeting in the near term remains low, despite hopes associated with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Salam links any potential next steps in negotiations to first strengthening an existing ceasefire. He says shoring up the ceasefire would form the basis for any new round of talks that could involve government envoys from both Lebanon and Israel meeting in Washington.
The reports reflect a cautious approach from Lebanon, emphasizing that progress on negotiations depends on stabilizing the ceasefire before moving to broader or higher-level diplomatic engagement. Neither source provides details of a specific meeting date or confirmed participation beyond the possibility of envoy-level talks in Washington.
