Description:

Despite active hostilities on the northern front, Reuters and Haaretz report that both sides are preparing for direct talks, with Lebanon forming a delegation. The 2022 maritime boundary negotiations demonstrated both states can engage on narrow technical issues without broader normalization. Talks would aim at deconfliction and border stabilization while the wider Iran war continues.

Synthesis:

The Iran-Israel war drives today's forecasts: US emergency interceptor resupply to Israel is near-certain as stocks hit critical levels, while diplomatic channels between Israel and Lebanon may open even as the fighting continues, and escalating militia attacks in Iraq threaten US force posture in the region.
