Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to send a representative of the National Security Council to Lebanon to discuss possible economic cooperation projects. This rare move comes in the context of the United States pressuring the Lebanese government to accept direct dialogue with Israel, a controversial subject on the political scene in Lebanon.
Although a ceasefire agreement was reached last year between Israel and Hezbollah, tensions persist, and Israel continues to carry out attacks in southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah is rearming its positions. Sending an Israeli envoy is considered a significant action in the context of regional instability and international efforts to promote stability at the border between the two countries.
