President Donald Trump announced that the leaders of Israel and Lebanon would speak directly, marking the first such contact in 34 years. However, Lebanese officials have now contradicted this claim, with AFP reporting that Lebanese authorities are unaware of any such talks scheduled for today. This denial creates a stark contradiction between the U.S. president's public statements and the official position of the Lebanese government.
