U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the talks were a “historic opportunity” that marked the beginning of a process to try and bring peace to the region. Meanwhile, many Lebanese citizens displaced by the ongoing conflict expressed uncertainty about the talks. “Negotiations between Lebanon and Israel are a strategic mistake, which the Lebanese people will pay the price for. First of all, I don’t know why the rush. The war is still at the beginning.
