Ceasefire Agreement Remains Fragile as Fighting Continues Daily

“Senior Israeli officials approached senior US officials to permit the Israel Defense Forces to expand strikes on Beirut,” this is how the situation was described by insiders familiar with the communications.

The first direct ambassador-level talks between Lebanon and Israel took place in Washington on April 16. Those discussions ended with US President Donald Trump declaring a ceasefire agreement between both sides.
