The Israel–Lebanon peace talks are diplomatic contacts that opened between Israel and Lebanon during 2026, following the renewed fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. For the first time since the failure of the May 17 Agreement (1983), Israel and the Lebanese government announced the opening of direct negotiations with the goal of reaching a peace agreement and disarming Hezbollah.
Direct negotiations between Beirut and Tel Aviv are under way for the first time since 1983, yet the scope and substance of the discussions remain deliberately opaque.

Lebanon insists only Beirut handles the peace talks with Israel — but the insistence itself tells you where the room is.

Pentagon teleconferences, preparatory calls, direct negotiations—peace talks are mostly rooms with very few people in them.
