flag Lebanon says it won’t normalize with Israel, despite U.S.-brokered talks and envoy move.

flag Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated on December 3, 2025, that Lebanon remains “far from” diplomatic normalization or economic relations with Israel, despite Israel’s announcement of sending an envoy to begin talks. flag The development follows the appointment of civilian representatives to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire monitoring committee, marking a shift from its prior military-only structure. flag Lebanon reiterated its commitment to the 2002 Arab peace initiative, which links normalization to a Palestinian state—a condition Israel has rejected. flag The committee includes representatives from the U.S., France, and UNIFIL.
