Lebanese lawmaker condemns US-hosted talks

A Lebanese lawmaker has condemned the ongoing US-hosted negotiations between Lebanese and Israeli delegations as illegal under Lebanese law. The official stated that every Lebanese citizen attending the meeting would have their citizenship permanently revoked, calling them 'treasonous' and 'démodé' for engaging with Israel while global sentiment is perceived to be turning against it. This threat highlights the intense domestic political pressure and legal controversy surrounding the normalization talks.
