Reuters: Lebanon seeks temporary ceasefire to allow broader talks with Israel, official says

Lebanon has spent the last 24 hours advocating for a ‌temporary ceasefire to allow for broader talks with Israel, a senior Lebanese official told Reuters, saying it ⁠would be a "separate track but the same model" as a fragile truce brokered by Pakistan between the U.S. and Iran.

The official said no date or location had ‌been ⁠set yet but Lebanon needed the U.S. as a mediator and guarantor of any ⁠agreement.

The official spoke to Reuters after Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ⁠announced that he had instructed the start of ⁠direct negotiations with Lebanon "as soon as possible."
