🚨US State Department: Israel and Lebanon have agreed to start direct negotiations after today's trilateral meeting in Washington

I can't believe my timeline Wow

@AlbertKostanian Albert tu viendras dîner shabat à la maison

Good to see Lebanon back on the international scene! This is the start of a long and complex process that, if handled well, might lead to the full restoration of sovereignty by ending both Iranian and Israeli occupations.

@SX02_TWEETS @MOSSADil Welcome!! Ahla wa sahla

Thank you @SecRubio for this historic moment 🇱🇧🇮🇱🇱🇧🇮🇱🇱🇧🇮🇱

Lebanon’s Choice: Sovereignty or Perpetual Proxy War As Lebanon’s ambassador meets Israeli officials in Washington to explore potential talks, a familiar narrative resurfaces: warnings of hidden agendas and calls to resist peace. This narrative is outdated. And Lebanon can no longer afford it. The Myth That No Longer Holds Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000. It did not annex land. It did not install a proxy. It left. In 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza, dismantling settlements and handing the territory to Palestinian governance. The result was not state building, but the rise of armed groups and recurring conflict. The lesson is clear: instability is not always imposed. It can also be self inflicted when militancy replaces governance. The Double Standard Lebanon Avoids For nearly three decades, Syria occupied Lebanon, shaping its politics, suppressing dissent, and leaving behind a legacy of violence, disappearances, and economic exploitation. Yet Syria was rarely treated as an existential enemy. This double standard continues to distort Lebanon’s judgment. Real occupation was normalized. Hypothetical threats are amplified. A serious national strategy cannot be built on selective memory. Two Paths, Two Outcomes One path is clear. Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE chose peace with Israel. None were occupied. All gained stability and opportunity. The other path is equally visible. Iran has embedded itself in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen through proxy forces, weakening states and deepening instability. Lebanon is not observing this pattern. It is trapped inside it. The Moment of Decision Lebanon’s crisis is not due to a lack of options. It is the result of refusing one. Peace is not capitulation. It is the restoration of sovereignty. The question is no longer what others want from Lebanon. It is whether Lebanon is ready to finally choose itself. Peace is not a slogan. It is a decision.

As a Lebanese Israeli, today is a historic day for the two main, inseparable parts of my identity, and for every Lebanese and Israeli. Israel and Lebanon will have an official diplomatic meeting, face to face, for the first time in 43 years, after the failed last attempt in May 17th 1983. We can speak a lot about the hostilities between the two countries, about the use of Lebanese soil as a war zone, and the Lebanese as human shields taken hostage by Iranian proxies and Palestinian factions throughout the years. Yes, they do have support from some Lebanese themselves, but this is changing as the days go by. This is the most important meeting of the current century for Lebanon. This is the chance Lebanon has been waiting for: to take its sovereignty, independence, and destiny into its own hands, and to stop letting proxies drag Lebanon into wars that have nothing to do with any Lebanese cause. Peace is not made between friends, it is made between enemies. And the only way forward for Lebanon is to choose the state over militias, sovereignty over chaos, and a future over endless wars.

Tomorrow, inshallah, there will be such a picture, one that is not AI generated.

@thenorthmoose @wg_at_al_a As an Israeli I will say this will never happen. There is zero desire to have an inch of Lebanese soil. Live and let live w khallas ba2a

@wg_at_al_a I love my homeland of Lebanon so I don’t wish for this to happen but one day when Israel inevitably expands as is in its nature and takes over Lebanon bit by bit as it has done with Palestine I’ll happily stand over you and everyone like you and laugh and say you deserved it.

This photograph will give Naim Kassem nightmares at night.

@MamaGhannouje Wow

Yess peut être que si je m’opère des amygdales j’aurai enfin l’accent français

@MamaGhannouje Enfin les gens se sentent assez en sécurité pour s'exprimer en faveur de la paix

@Raphael83736 :(

I don't want to get my hopes up, but omgggggg !!!

@RawaneOsmane It’s already happening. True Lebanese wants peace with Israel and no ti wars.

@draconian_slime @IditAbu That's what you want to believe.

@IditAbu Hezbollah was created with the sole purpose of stopping israeli invasion. You are not the victims.

Israeli here, You lost your house, Israelis lost their homes, Lebanese died, Israelis died.   But why?  Here are some #facts -          The border between Israel and Lebanon has been mostly quiet between 1949 and 1970. Israel and Lebanon had no issues with one another. Lebanon barely participated in the 1967.
 -          In 1970- 1971 the Jordanians smartly kicked out Palestinian terror organisations after they tried to overthrow the Jordanian regime and assassinate King Hussein. The Palestinian terror groups moved to southern Lebanon, and started attacking Israel from the north. 
 -          Every single Israeli operation in Lebanon was proceeded by terror attacks on the Israeli north. Grok it. Let me mention a few- the attack on the school in Ma’alot (‘74)- terrorists from Lebanon took 105 children hostage and eventually killed 27 or the blood bus (1978) where terrorist from Lebanon took 70 people hostage and killed 35 including 13 children. 
 -          Those attacks led to the Lebanon war of 1982 that ended with the Palestinian leadership moving to Tunisia. But the Iranian regime, post revolution saw an opportunity in the fragmented Lebanon and started cultivating a new proxy -Hezbollah. Hezbollah officially in 1985 declared allegiance with Iran and has been doing as it is told by Iran ever since. 
 -          26 years ago, in the year 2000, Israel completely withdrew from Lebanon to the internationally acknowledged border- blue line. Lebanon promised to disarm Hezbollah, it didn’t
 -          Since then two major wars, more promises to disarm Hezbollah, still Hezbollah attacking. Current conflict, Israel warned and asked Hezbollah to stay out of the conflict with Iran,  Hezbollah, despite clear calls from within Lebanon, attacks Israel. These are all facts. Grok it, google it, check it with your AI of choice or with an old fashion encyclopedia if you are retro. Lebanon and Israel could have had peace like we have with Jordan and Egypt, had it wasn’t for Hezbollah. I hope talks between Israel and Lebanon are fruitful for the benefit of both people. Maybe the next generation could have homes that last.

@piersmorgan Within Lebanon there is a well armed militia called hezbollah that attacks Israel, against the wishes of the Lebanese state and people. Therefore Israel is bombing hezbollah in Lebanon, it is not bombing Lebanon. Lebanese know this, why don't you?

You’re literally bombing Lebanon.
