US President Donald Trump is likely to attend the second round of peace talks between Lebanon and Israel, set for Thursday at the White House. This follows a historic first round of discussions earlier this month, marking the first diplomatic engagement between the two nations in over three decades. The talks aim to address the influence of Hezbollah, which has been a significant factor in the ongoing conflict. A ceasefire was declared by Trump on April 16, yet violence has persisted, with reports of at least six fatalities due to Iranian strikes in southern Lebanon. A Lebanese journalist, Amal Khalil, was tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike while covering the conflict. Amid these tensions, Lebanon is pursuing a one-month extension of the ceasefire during its negotiations with Israel. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar stated that Israel has no serious disagreements with Lebanon and is open to peace initiatives. Meanwhile, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has called on the Trump administration to pressure Israel to reduce its military demands.
