Israel says no direct talks planned with Lebanon to stop the war
Israel said on Sunday that no direct talks were planned with Lebanon to end the war, a day after a Lebanese official said Beirut was preparing a delegation to negotiate with Israel.
Asked whether Israel was set to hold such talks, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said: "No."
Saar also called on the Lebanese government to take "serious steps" to stop Hezbollah from firing at Israel.
On Saturday, a Lebanese official told AFP that preparations were underway for potential negotiations with Israel, but that Beirut was waiting for an "Israeli commitment to a truce."

Other than demilitarizing Hezbollah or expelling the Shia population to go live in Iran, what does Lebanon have to negotiate with that Israel would consider valuable to have?
