President Joseph Aoun received Tuesday a phone call from French President Emmanuel Macron, during which they discussed the general situation in Lebanon and the region in light of the results of the U.S.-Iranian negotiations held in Switzerland.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has told Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea that the U.S.' talks with Iran regarding Lebanon do not aim to give Tehran any role in determining Lebanon's future or influencing its decisions, but to ensure that Iran pressures Hezbollah to abide by its commitments and obligations.

Geagea said Tuesday that Vance's letter was a response to his appeal to the Vice President to support the Lebanese state and separate the Lebanese negotiations from the U.S.-Iran talks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said that Israel is "standing against Iran and its proxies."

Iran's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, affirmed Tuesday that the resumption of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program is contingent upon the implementation of five points outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Israeli machinegun fire killed two people and wounded a third on Tuesday in southern Lebanon, state media reported, despite a reduction in hostilities there following the declaration of a new ceasefire.

Two young men were killed and a third was injured when Israeli forces opened machine-gun fire toward them in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, the National News Agency reported. The victims were standing near an excavator and an Islamic Health Commity team that was working to clear roads and retrieve bodies in the Deir neighborhood.

Israel is considering announcing “symbolic” withdrawals from occupied territory in southern Lebanon as part of upcoming talks, according to an Israeli source familiar with the matter.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized Monday that Israeli troops occupying parts of south Lebanon still enjoyed "freedom of action" despite a ceasefire that has been holding for two days.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Monday that “very good progress” was made on a “deconfliction mechanism” between Israel and Hezbollah during talks with Iran in Burgenstock yesterday.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea urged on Monday U.S. Vice President JD Vance to support the Lebanese state and separate the Lebanese negotiations from the U.S.-Iran talks.

Geagea argued that the best way the U.S. can support Lebanon right now is by reinforcing its legitimate institutions as the country's sole authority. He called for restricting all negotiations exclusively to the Lebanese state and permanently sidelining Iran from the Lebanese file, after the U.S. and Iran agreed to set up a "de-confliction cell" with Lebanon "to ensure the adherence of the termination of military operations" there.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri pledged on behalf of ally Hezbollah to make the region south of the Litani river weapon-free, if Israel commits this time to a ceasefire in Lebanon.

Berri told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, in remarks published Monday, that he supports a gradual withdrawal from south Lebanon based on districts and not "pilot zones" as he considered that dividing the region into pilot zones would be a waste of time and would slow down the Israeli withdrawal from the south.
