Bambi doesn’t know about your own opinion about the Lebanese-Israeli direct talks in Washington, if any. However, here is what she thinks about it, at least right now. Clearly, she prefers the Lebanese Prime Minister’s speech to his fellow citizens over the Hezbollah’s bragging words after firing twice rockets into northern Israel. This Lebanese, yet Iranian-backed, militia stated that it launched a “rocket barrage<\/em>” at Kiryat Shmona “in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the Israeli enemy’s violation of the ceasefire<\/em>” (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/3wys27e9<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Enough of the vicious cycle of endless wars. The latter led Lebanon, time and again, to where it is right now: destruction, displacement, mortality, injuries, and traumas. It did not work. Try something else for once!<\/p>\n\n\n “In light of the Israeli escalation and the Washington negotiations, I say this today:![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NawafSalam.jpg\")

I want to speak frankly to the Lebanese people:
Are negotiations guaranteed to succeed? Certainly not. But they are the least costly path for our nation and our people, compared to the other options available today.
\u2026 This path is not easy, nor will it be short, but it becomes shorter, and we become stronger, when all efforts are united under the umbrella of the Lebanese state.
This requires abandoning unilateralism and ceasing stubbornness. The state is conducting the negotiations today on behalf of all Lebanese, and it is incumbent upon all of them to rally under its banner, so that the decision of war and peace remains a Lebanese national decision, not one made by one faction over another, and not one imposed from outside our borders”.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
