Hezbollah Neighbors Discuss Defense Strategy Amid Israel Tensions

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah announced the group's willingness to engage in talks with the Lebanese government regarding a defense strategy aimed at addressing Israeli actions in southern Lebanon. This follows a ceasefire agreement from November, under which Israel has maintained military strikes against Hezbollah. Concurrently, Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias visited Lebanon, where he met with President Joseph Aoun and Defense Minister Michel Menassah, discussing bilateral defense cooperation and Greece's support for the Lebanese Armed Forces. Dendias reiterated Greece's readiness to assist Lebanon and emphasized the importance of cooperation in regional stability. Aoun condemned Israeli violations of Lebanese territory and called for Greece's help in enforcing UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Both developments highlight the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region and the need for enhanced defense strategies.
