In response, Israel has launched a broad wave of strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, prompting mass civilian evacuations. The United States will be represented by a delegation led by Jared Kushner, with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >discussions taking place amid reports<\/a> that Israel plans an expansive ground operation in Lebanon. Haaretz and Axios provide somewhat different emphases: Haaretz notes the talks are underway, while Axios cites plans for a gaza-style escalation and Beirut\u2019s and paris\u2019s diplomacy, including Macron offering to host talks in Paris and France drafting a proposal for Lebanon to recognize Israel (which the U.S. and Israel are reviewing). The fighting has already caused hundreds of civilian deaths and immense displacement, with the IDF claiming over 1,100 strikes in Lebanon and Hezbollah casualties, while Lebanese authorities report higher civilian casualties. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged diplomacy and highlighted humanitarian concerns for evacuees, calling for adherence to the UN Charter and Security Council resolutions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Israel and Lebanon to hold talks as Israel prepares invasion: Report<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2531800\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"219\">Israel<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/lebanon\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1192\">Lebanon<\/a> are reportedly set to hold face-to-face <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/peace\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"3325\">peace<\/a> talks in the coming days to seek an off-ramp to the fighting across their border that began with the Lebanese terrorist organization <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hezbollah\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"814\">Hezbollah<\/a> launching missiles against the Jewish state on March 2.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Hezbollah&rsquo;s attack, Israel launched a massive wave of strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-joe-biden-to-strip-colombian-farc-communists-of-terrorist-designation\/\" title=\"Report: Joe Biden to Strip Colombian FARC Communists of Terrorist Designation\">designated foreign terrorist group<\/a> is based.
