Vice President Vance of the United States: Lebanon and Israel have now initiated direct communication unprecedented in months, marking a clear turning point in the Middle East situation.
"The fact is, Lebanon and Israel are currently engaged in direct dialogue—something that did not exist just a few months ago. Their general positions are now trending toward alignment.
To be frank, we can fully coordinate and integrate the potential peace agreement between Lebanon and Israel with the memorandum of understanding previously signed by the United States and Iran. The core essence of both documents is a commitment to respect Lebanon's territorial integrity.
Therefore, tangible changes have indeed taken place. The crucial question now is whether this new situation can be sustained over time."
Vance’s remarks highlight the latest diplomatic developments in the Middle East: bilateral communication channels between Lebanon and Israel have been reestablished; the U.S. is attempting to link negotiations between Lebanon and Israel with the existing U.S.-Iran agreement, using Lebanon’s territorial integrity as a shared foundation. At the same time, he remains cautious and does not assert that the current easing trend will be permanently stable.
