Egypt offers to host Israel-Lebanon talks

Egypt has offered to host direct talks between Israel and Lebanon in Sharm el-Sheikh, according to a report by Al-Akhbar. However, the proposal has not received clear approval from the United States, which is a key mediator in the process. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has rejected the Egyptian and European alternatives, preferring the meetings to remain in Washington. This development highlights the ongoing diplomatic wrangling over the venue and format for negotiations aimed at de-escalating tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border.
