Israel responded with an intense bombing campaign and ground offensive.<\/p>\n Lebanese President Joseph Aoun offered direct negotiations with Israel for the first time in decades in exchange for an end to hostilities, an offer that was initially rejected.<\/p>\n This changed after the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and the United States and talks between the two brokered by Pakistan.<\/p>\n Lebanon and Israel held their first direct diplomatic talks in decades in Washington last week following more than a month of war between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group. Meanwhile, Iran continued to insist that its ceasefire agreement must extend to Lebanon and said it would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz otherwise.<\/p>\n A ceasefire was announced by the US on Thursday between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The US portrayed the agreement as the outcome of Israel-Lebanon negotiations. <\/p>\n Hezbollah, which is opposed to Lebanon pursuing direct talks with Israel and was not part of those talks, insisted that the ceasefire was the result of Iranian pressure, not the Israel-Lebanon meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Paris– French President Emmanuel Macron will reaffirm France’s full commitment to the ceasefire in Lebanon and support for the country’s territorial integrity in a meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salaam in Paris on Tuesday, Macron’s office said. this is pakistan Preparation for new round of talks The ceasefire between the US and Iran is<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84808,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[4380,608,3087,909,2057,9305,349],"class_list":{"0":"post-84798","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bible-news","8":"tag-ceasefire","9":"tag-lebanon","10":"tag-macron","11":"tag-paris","12":"tag-push","13":"tag-sovereignty","14":"tag-talks"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84798"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84798\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84809,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84798\/revisions\/84809"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
