A Lebanese military delegation is scheduled to meet in Tampa, Florida, on October 20 to demand a halt to Israeli attacks in Lebanon. The meeting will be a trilateral discussion, according to a statement from the Lebanese presidency posted on X. This move follows a series of direct talks between Lebanon and Israel in recent months. These discussions are intended to de-escalate hostilities that began on March 2, when conflict erupted between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. The renewed fighting was sparked by the broader regional conflict currently unfolding. Beirut hopes to leverage the talks in Florida to secure a cessation of the Israeli offensive within Lebanon.
