Lebanon After the Assads
The United States has important equities in Lebanon, including a desire for a generally friendly government’s economic and political stability; security cooperation; long-standing relations with the large Christian community in Lebanon and Lebanese diaspora in the United States; and ultimately peace between Israel and Lebanon within a broader regional settlement. Achieving these objectives will require navigating a tumultuous period in the country’s history following a war between Hezbollah and Israel that has devastated a large part of the country, exacerbating Lebanon’s already challenging economic conditions.

Netanyahu Offers Cash, Safe Passage for Hostage Releases in Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly willing to offer captors of hostages in Gaza “several million dollars” for each hostage's release, The Times of Israel reported, citing an Israeli official.
In addition to financial incentives, Netanyahu is prepared to guarantee “safe passage” out of Gaza for the captors and their families if they agree to release hostages, the official revealed. This proposal was discussed during a meeting on Sunday concerning hostages.
The official also acknowledged a statement from the US State Department on Monday, confirming that Hamas had rejected a proposal for a short-term ceasefire and a hostage release deal.
“Nothing is happening on the ground until we know the results of the US elections,” the official stated, suggesting that the political landscape could influence the dynamics of the ongoing conflict and negotiations.
