Netanyahu agrees to ‘low-key it’ with Lebanon after deadly strike, as talks loom

·

A day after Israel’s deadliest attack on Lebanon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed in a call with US President Donald Trump to “low-key it” with Lebanon.

This comes after Netanyahu ordered his ministers to begin direct talks with Lebanon where they pushed for Hezbollah’s disarmament.

A statement released from Netanyahu’s office read, “In light of Lebanon’s repeated requests to open direct negotiations with Israel, I instructed the cabinet yesterday to begin direct negotiations with Lebanon as soon as possible.”

A Lebanese government official responded to Netanyahu’s announcement saying that Beirut “wants a ceasefire” to be declared before any negotiations start with Israel.

Meanwhile, a latest message from Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei said “Iran is not seeking war but will not forfeit its rights and considers all resistance fronts as a unified entity.”

He added, “We will certainly demand compensation for each and every damage inflicted, and the blood price of the martyrs and the compensation for the wounded of this war.”
