Lebanese press split on US-mediated talks

Lebanese media headlines this morning starkly illustrate the country's political divide over recent US-mediated talks with Israel. The anti-Hezbollah newspaper Nidaa' al-Watan declared a 'Taboo... broken,' framing the diplomatic engagement as a significant shift. In contrast, the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar condemned the move, labeling it 'The government of shame bows down in Washington.' This media split mirrors the broader political and social rift within Lebanon over the government's foreign policy direction and Hezbollah's role.
