Israel and Lebanon are expected to hold direct talks in the coming days — possibly in Paris or Cyprus, with Jared Kushner involved — even as two weeks of devastating fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah has killed more than 800 people, displaced 820,000, and pushed Israel toward its largest ground invasion of Lebanon since 2006. The reported negotiations, alongside an ambitious French peace proposal requiring Lebanese recognition of Israel, represent the first diplomatic opening since Hezbollah's March 2 rocket barrage shattered a 16-month ceasefire and opened a third front in the broader U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
