What Happened

Israeli President Isaac Herzog told Fox News that a peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon cannot be reached if Iran is “trying to squeeze themselves into this conflict” via Hezbollah. Herzog, whose position is largely ceremonial, announced that Israel and Lebanon will hold another round of talks in Washington on Tuesday, with Hezbollah not a party to the talks. Iran stated it wants any agreement with the U.S. to include peace on all fronts including Lebanon, and said Lebanon will be a focus in today’s talks in Switzerland.

Why It Matters

The statement underscores Iran's central role in the Lebanon conflict and the challenges of isolating Hezbollah from broader regional diplomacy. The separate US and Switzerland tracks highlight diverging approaches, potentially stalling a standalone Lebanon-Israel ceasefire.
