Beirut protesters reject Israel talks amid rising tensions

For a third consecutive day, protesters have filled the streets of Beirut, voicing anger over the Lebanese government’s response to Israel’s attacks and rejecting potential direct talks with Tel Aviv. While some Lebanese cautiously support ceasefire talks, many remain deeply distrustful of Israel’s intentions and fear further violence. As diplomatic efforts stall and Hezbollah rejects negotiations, civilians continue to suffer amid escalating attacks and growing uncertainty over Lebanon’s future. Priyanka Navani reports from Beirut.
