Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam clarified that ongoing negotiations with Israel, conducted under a ceasefire monitoring mechanism, do not constitute broader peace talks. Salam emphasized that Lebanon remains technically at war with Israel and that the current discussions are limited to ceasefire verification and related security issues. He stated that Lebanon is open to allowing the mechanism to verify its efforts to disarm Hezbollah, which has faced significant losses and pressure since the last conflict. The Lebanese army has prepared a plan to disarm Hezbollah, responding to both internal and international demands.
