  • Lebanon urged by U.S. to engage Israel as Hezbollah conflict escalates
    May 2, 2026, 12:44 AM EDT. The U.S. Embassy in Beirut urged Lebanon's government to deepen talks with Israel, implicitly sidelining Iran-backed Hezbollah, a key player in Lebanon's politics and conflict. The embassy stressed Lebanon's historic chance to reclaim sovereignty and peace amid ongoing violence from Hezbollah-Israel clashes. Israel's offensive launched after Hezbollah attacks has killed nearly 2,590 people and displaced over a million. The embassy proposed a direct meeting between Lebanese and Israeli leaders, brokered by President Trump, to secure guarantees on sovereignty, borders, and humanitarian aid. Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam held ceasefire talks with the U.S. Ambassador, focusing on negotiation efforts. The conflict remains volatile with frequent ceasefire violations from both Hezbollah and Israel, underscoring Lebanon's critical predicament.
