Israel demonstrates diplomatic engagement while maintaining kinetic pressure, with the very act of holding talks providing political cover for continued operations when no agreement materializes.

Continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon sustain military pressure on Iran's primary proxy network, maintaining the multi-front conflict environment that compounds civilian displacement flows into Syria, Iraq, and Jordan. Failed diplomacy removes the pathway to de-escalation that might slow displacement.
