IDF and Lebanese army representatives are set to hold U.S.-mediated talks today over Zoom, focusing on the ceasefire and implementation of the pilot zones, per Lebanese newspaper Nidaa al-Watan. The meeting continues the direct talks previously held in Rome.

Lebanese political figures opposed to Hezbollah are calling on the Beirut government to open peace negotiations with Israel, according to the Lebanese newspaper Nidaa al-Watan.
The officials called for a small negotiating delegation free from sectarian constraints, a unilateral ceasefire declaration to Hezbollah with a short timeline for disarmament, and outreach to Arab states and the Vatican to build diplomatic support.
A Lebanese official told the paper the government is the only body authorized to negotiate with Israel and said Lebanon should "copy the Pakistani model", demand a limited ceasefire and begin talks immediately after it takes effect.
The paper also reports that negotiations between U.S., Israeli, and Lebanese ambassadors will begin Tuesday in Washington, with follow-up talks expected in Cyprus.
Lebanese paper Nidaa Al-Watan, critical of Hezbollah, headlines: “Terror lair ambassador expelled from Lebanon. The embassy is a hub for military breaches.”
