Israel Lebanon Talks Focus Hezbollah Disarmament

The time is now 5:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Iranian Retaliation, As fire continues near Hormuz, Washington awaits a serious Iranian response to its war-ending proposal. Tehran mocks US pressure, and satellite imagery suggests the strikes have significantly set back Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities.

In US Military Role, An Iranian military source warned that if the US attempts to re-enter the Persian Gulf, it would receive another decisive response. The source described US attacks on Iranian oil tankers as a violation of the ceasefire and American terrorism, while noting there are currently no clashes but that re-entry could bring a new round of conflict. Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei urged against “adventurism and roguish behavior” and dismissed so-called “light slaps” as inadequate. Separately, CENTCOM said the United States carried out retaliatory strikes on Iranian military facilities on Thursday, targeting inbound threats and sites used to attack US forces, including missile and drone launch capabilities.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Israel and Lebanon will resume negotiations on May 14 and 15 with intensive talks facilitated by the United States, aimed at a comprehensive peace and security agreement addressing core concerns of both countries. The talks will cover the delineation of borders, pathways for humanitarian relief and reconstruction, and the full restoration of Lebanese sovereignty across its territory. The United States underscored that comprehensive peace hinges on the full restoration of Lebanese state authority and the complete disarmament of Hezbollah. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said the government is committed to ensuring weapons remain in state hands, in line with Lebanese decisions.
